I gave up on Xen, but then after fixing the problem with the initrd file
he Xen screwed up and booting into the Xen kernel successfully I had
other problems that I did not have before. I then uninstalled the Suse
Xen kernel and was going to reinstall it, but thought, why not try the
xen 3.0.3 install without the suse xen install. Tried that, but ha the
same problem as before, could not find /dev/sda2 root disk. Finally
found an email on the suse list about mkinitrd and using it as a sample,
I ended up with 
/sbin/mkinitrd -k "vmlinux-2.6.16.29-xen" -i "initrd-xen-3.0.3 which
created the file. I could then boot into the Xen kernel. 

Now, when I try to xm create a previous hvm file, i get the following:

Error: Kernel image does not exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

This is an image from the Xen LiveCD that worked when I booted from the
LiveCD.

So, how do I get this hvmloader file? I notice there is a folder in
the /xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware directory, but the only thing there
is hvmloader.c.

I also do not see this file on the Xen LiveCD! Please explain that one.

Hit so many brick walls that my head hurts.
