Re: [Xen-users] fresh xcp 1.6 & xenserver install fails on first boot (kernel not found).

Cpio doesn't seem to be present. 
I'm working on getting around that. 
Trying to copy it from the mounted sda1 but it tells me "cannot execute binary 
file".

Yes. Take the initrd and decompress it:

zcat initrd > /tmp/initrd
Then open it up
mkdir /tmp/initrd_tmp
cd /tmp/initrd_tmp
cpio -idmv < ../initrd

Then examine the files and ensure your driver is there..
