Hi, Yongkang and all

I can boot up domU by using my special initrd without vif.
I think mkinitrd of fc6 make initrd by using dom0 infomation.
(for example dom0's /etc/fstab, dom0's pci infomaition. )
So when xm boot domU, domU kernel don't use bootparmeter of domU.

The below is a recipe of making my special inird

1. copy initrd
# mkdir tmp
# cp /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.18-1.2679.fc6xenU.img tmp/

2. expand inird
# cd tmp
# gzip -cd ../initrd-2.6.18-1.2679.fc6xenU.img |cpio -id

3. modify init in initrd
# vi init
	insmod /lib/ohci-hcd.ko 
	echo "Loading ehci-hcd.ko module"
	insmod /lib/ehci-hcd.ko 
	mount -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
	echo "Loading jbd.ko module"
	insmod /lib/jbd.ko 
	echo "Loading ext3.ko module"
	insmod /lib/ext3.ko 
	#echo "Loading scsi_mod.ko module"           <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/scsi_mod.ko                     <<<<<< comment out
	#echo "Loading sd_mod.ko module"             <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/sd_mod.ko                       <<<<<< comment out
	#echo "Loading scsi_transport_spi.ko module" <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/scsi_transport_spi.ko           <<<<<< comment out
	#echo "Loading mptbase.ko module"            <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/mptbase.ko                      <<<<<< comment out
	#echo "Loading mptscsih.ko module"           <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/mptscsih.ko                     <<<<<< comment out
	#echo "Loading mptspi.ko module"             <<<<<< comment out
	#insmod /lib/mptspi.ko                       <<<<<< comment out
	echo "Loading xenblk.ko module"
	insmod /lib/xenblk.ko
	mkblkdevs
	#resume LABEL=SWAP-sda3                      <<<<<< comment out
	echo Creating root device.
	mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro sda1 <<<<change device to sda1
	echo Mounting root filesystem.
	mount /sysroot
	echo Setting up other filesystems.
	setuproot
	echo Switching to new root and running init.
	switchroot
4. make new initrd
# find . -print | cpio --quiet -c -o | gzip -9 >../initrd-new.img

5. my domU configuration
kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2679.fc6xen"
ramdisk = "/xen/initrd-new.img"
memory = 1024
name = "fc6.DomU"
#vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'file:/xen/image/fc6.root.img,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "4 ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe selinux=0 
rhgb"

6. etc
   6.1. copy modlues into domU image file
        # mount -o loop domU.img /mnt
        # cp -a /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2679.fc6xen/ /mnt/lib/modules/
   6.2. disable selinux
        # vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
        SELINUX=disabled <<<< change enforcing to disabled
   6.3. modify /etc/fstab in domU.img
	/dev/sda1     /         ext3    defaults        1 1
	devpts        /dev/pts  devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
	tmpfs         /dev/shm  tmpfs   defaults        0 0
	proc          /proc     proc    defaults        0 0
	sysfs         /sys      sysfs   defaults        0 0


But I cannot use network on domU.
I'll check the src.rpm of kernel-xen.
