Sorry you're right ... the kernel was:
kernel-xen-2.6.16.33-3.0.4.1.i386.rpm
and 'xen' was the src.rpm

b was the one I created using mkinitrd (the src rpm install of xen created one
or at least it appeared to ... I used mkinitrd to make the one I did which I

I'll give this a shot and see if the results change :)  ... when I said create
one manually I meant litterally dearchive the initrd and repack it manually.
I'll try this though and report back. Thanks!
