Yes, always use the colinux kernel, the initrd for coLinux is more or
less options, if you don't use it or if it fails to do what it's
designed to do, you can avoid it's use by manually unarchiving the
contents of vmlinux-modules.tar.gz from the colinux install directory
into the root partition on SuSe 10.1 (basically initrd just tries to
automagically install the colinux kernel modules for you)

What specifically about compiling your own kernel did you want/need
feedback on.  I do this regularly as do many users.  There are a few
'gotchas' you have to be aware of though.
