OK, the naming of various Linux kernels as "vmlinuz" is one of thestupider moves in the Linux world. They should be named "vmlinux.igz",or something similar, and gunzip to "vmlinux.img". The initrd filesshould be "initrd-[number].cgz" and gunzip to "initrd-[number].cpi" fora cpio image.

You need to use something like "gzcat /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-34-xen >initrd-2.6.18.2-34-xen.cpio".
