I tried mkinitrd:

shell> depmod -a 2.6.18-xen
shell> mkinitrd --show kernel_version=2.6.18-xen (config file below)

 - the generated image is about 2.9M
 - in the output of mkinitrd I saw that sd_mod and aacraid are included

I get further but still won't boot.  The errors this time are:

mdadm: No arrays found in config file
mount: Mounting /dev/root on /new_root failed: No such device or address
pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory
mount: /initrd: No such file or directory
