copy kernel image and initrd to /boot of a domainU? Why that? 

You should copy the correct modules directory (for 
example /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen) to your domainU, so that modules can be 
loaded in your guest domain. 

The kernel and initrd has to be configured in the config of every domainU and 
gets loaded at domainUs inital "boot". They don't need to exist as files 
in /boot of any domainU. The domainU doesn't even tries to access them.
