I can confirm what Chris Epicier reported.

Your patch does indeed fix the mkinitrd bug. I looked at the contents
of the generated initrd and it now contains only the disired modules.
Thank you.

However the software raid1 (mirror) is still not working with
kernel-2.6.11.4-20a-xen from the SuSE-9.3 distribution. I guess
the mkinitrd bug isn't the source of the problem.

I tried various kernels from Kurt Garloff's web page
http://www.suse.de/~garloff/linux/xen/

Here is what I found

kernel version                   software raid1 status
kernel-2.6.11.4-20a-xen          broken
kernel-xen-2.6.8-24.14.i586.rpm  working
kernel-xen-2.6.10-20.i586.rpm    broken
kernel-xen-2.6.11.4-21.i586.rpm  broken

So I have a workaround, use kernel-xen-2.6.8-24.14.i586.rpm .

Thanks for your help.
