Xen sets up the kernel and starts it running and gives it the initrd. But I have a /boot and it is outside of LVM anyway because RedHat's kickstart insists that it be so. But I am sure in the near future they will have kickstart modified to work more nicely with virtual machines. > Pick a convenient size such as 10GB or 20GB, depending on your needs. > Allocate new hard drives based on need.

It would still have been nice to be able to resize the devices because I don't want to have a ridiculous number of "drives" (even though they are all virtual provided by AoE) just because it might become a management problem. But I think this will do until some better solution presents itself.
