you need a
ramdisk=/boot/kernel-geotmp.img


After you fix this, you will have a problem because you call your disks 
xvda in your disks= line, but you call it hda in your root= line.   with 
the RHEL kernels, I beleive your xvda usage is correct-  your root should 
be /dev/xvda1

Also note; you are using  a RHEL5 kernel on RHEL4, which will likely cause 
some weirdness (but should basically work)   After you get it going, you 
might want to try the same thing with the RHEL 4.5 xenU kernels (that are 
currently in beta)

this is the biggest problem;  nothing will work until you get drivers for 
your vbd loaded.  adding the ramdisk= line (assuming the ramdisk has the 
probper drivers, and your mkinitrd line looked correct)   should fix 
this.
