On Dom0, do:

uname -r
(make sure the output is the -xen kernel)

Then do:

mkinitramfs -o /tmp/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64
  `uname -r`

That command will create the initrd named:
/tmp/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64
using the modules on your dom0 that will work in the domU

Then, change this line in your domU config
> initrd = "/tmp/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz"

to:
initrd = "/tmp/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64"


Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Todd
