I see, so you just want to add it... you should be able to extract and mount
the initrd.gz file. I don't know the exact commands but the basic idea would
be:

<unzip the initrd>
mount -o loop <the extracted initrd> /mnt/<somemountpoint>
cp /lib/modules/<xen kernel version>/<the modules you need> /mnt/<the
mountpoint>
umount /mnt/<the mountpoint>
<compress the initrd back>

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Todd
