I would expect the version number of initrd-.. file would be the same as
the version number of the kernel. So something like:
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen  --with=sky2

Would make more sense. With the command on a single line, of course.

Ladles and Jellyspoons! I come before you to stand behind you, To tell
you something I know nothing about. Since next Thursday will be Good
Friday, There will be a fathers' meeting, for mothers only. Wear your
best clothes, if you don't have any, And please stay at home if you can
possibly be there. Admission is free, please pay at the door. Have a
seat on me: please sit on the floor. No matter where you manage to sit,
The man in the balcony will certainly spit. We thank you for your unkind
attention, And would now like to present our next act: "The Four Corners
of the Round Table."
