I'm trying to get an existing domU from fc5 to load on rhel, not create a new
one.

I mounted the domU fs in the dom0, copied in the rpm, did a chroot, and rpm -i.

I finally got it working... turns out that the chroot was the problem.. once I
did the mkinitrd w/out the chroot (pointed at the domU fstab), things started
going a lot more smoothly...

So, the good news is that I got it working... the bad news seems to be that
everytime I want to update the domU kernel, I have to install it, shut down
the domU, loop mount domU, create custom initrd and reboot. Rinse and
repeat for each fc5 domU. If anyone has a way that this can be done within the
domU so I can automate it w/out having to go to the dom0, that would be great..
