--- Comment #5 from Charles Coffing <ccoffing@xxxxxxxxxx>  2007-07-31 12:27:40 MST ---
The problem is that mkinitrd can't figure out what kernel module is needed for
Xen's paravirtual disk, due to the lack of modalias support in the xen drivers.

----------

After the error, I dropped to a shell, and did:
mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
chroot /mnt
mkinitrd

I got the error:
No modalias for device xvda
Script /lib/mkinitrd/setup/72-block.sh failed!

As stated above, mkinitrd can't figure out what module provides xvda.  This
patch allows the initrd to be built:

A more correct fix is to add modalias support to our Xen port.  For example:
