[one-users] initrd issue

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi William,

	These values come from this file:
$ONE_LOCATION/etc/vmm_xen/vmm_xen.conf

Here you can add default values for all the xen machines, so you do not
need to write the attribute (kernel   = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xenU") in all 
your VM templates.

If you want to get rid of the defaults just delete initrd from 
$ONE_LOCATION/etc/vmm_xen/vmm_xen.conf.

Cheers

Ruben
