 But initrd is nothing but a archive of the drivers. I checked it, and it 
doesn't contain an etc or anything that can mess with the boot. Or if it does, 
that's a very wrong design. Anyway how do I create a new initrd that won't mess 
with the boot?

 PS: I solved the fedora-xen ml problem. I have around 60 mailboxes, and it 
appears I had filtered all mails from redhat to another mbox, because rh used 
to spam me with their newsletter. So I will ask there too.

 Thanks.
