Ah, okay, thanks.

I'm using cpio-2.6-17 and mkinitrd-5.0.40-1 now.  I'm not sure what
I was using when the rpms were made, since I've updated recently!

However I found that my panic was due to a mistake I made in
elilo.conf.  I can boot dom0 now that I fixed that.  Here is what I'm
using:

image=vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2211_FC6.agriffisxen0
        label=xen-2.6.16-1.2211_FC6.agriffis
        vmm=xen.gz-2.6.16-1.2211_FC6.agriffis
        initrd=initrd-2.6.16-1.2211_FC6.agriffisxen0.img
        root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
        read-only
        append="sched=bvt sync_console -- rhgb quiet xencons=ttyS8 console=ttyS8 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00"

Hmmm, well hopefully this won't continue to be a problem.  The initrd
directly from the rpm is working here...
