Ok, I zeroed in on my problem. Even with --with=xenblk.ko, mkinitrd is not adding the
xenblk.ko to the initrd. And since mkinitrd seems to be lacking in any error messages, I
have no clue what the heck is happening there either. The xenblk.ko is present on the host
lib/modules though. I verified that. So anyway, the issue is with mkinitrd and its
inability to add xenblk.ko to the initrd.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
