I downloaded, untarred, build and installed the xen-2.0-testing kernel. 
However I still have a small question (actually a few small questions): 
This time I used the SuSE original configfile to build the unpriviledged kernel. 
This kernel loads almost everything from modules, so it needs an initrd. 
Here are my questions? 
Where do build the initrd for the unpriviledged domain? 
     - in the dom0 under debian 
     - under the guest os (SuSE), by mounting the guest OS partition, chroot to it, copy the dom0 /lib/modules/2.6.11-xenU directory from dom0 to guest and then run the mkinitrd? 

Where should I store that initrd? 
    - in /boot from dom0 
    - in /boot from guest 

How do I make clear in /etc/xen/staging (config file for my guest called staging) that an initrd is needed? 

What parameters would you use in your mkinitrd? For what is have read, bootsplash should be avoided with -s off. 

Thanks in advance, 

Greetz, 

Filip
