 Yeah. the problem was the mkinitrd doesnt' give any proper error messages, and 
the original suggestion from the fedor list was to give --with=xenblk.ko (note 
the extra ko), mkinitrd failed silently, and I kept trying with different 
options. Finally I untarred the initrd image and found it didn't have the 
xenblk.ko, and also found that mkinitrd will not complain if you give a bogus 
module name. Your command as above actually works, though I am now stuck at 
another error.

-------------
 ksign: module signed with unknown public key
 - signature keyid: 8bdc589434dbc709 ver=3
 Module signed with unknown public key
 insmod: error inserting '/lib/xenblk.ko': -1 Required key not available

 Thanks.
