Nonsense. The grubby tool, and the /sbin/new-kernel-pkg script which
calls it, are part of mkinitrd-3.5.13.6-1 which even updated RHEL 3
includes.

The kernel-xen spec just took a short-cut only running mkinitrd,
whereas the kernel spec runs /sbin/new-kernel-pkg.

But all this just explains the lack of a grub.conf entry, not why the
resulting initrd fails to boot sometimes...
