I'm glad you were able to find the problem. This kernel probably

persistent.
Great! I'll give the FDT a try next.

I have resync'd the xpfa yum repo for f13 and verified
kernel-omap-2.6.40.3-2.02.fc13.armv7l.rpm is there. I updated the panda
to 2.6.40.3-2.02 and it boots and runs without issue.
This version includes Mark Salter's patch, so you'll want it before
doing the USB storage performance testing.
The bonnie++ results were mixed. Sequential reads showed a bit of a
boost, but writes and random seeks took a huge hit. I published the
numbers on my blog:

Thanks for building the kernel!
