Hi Jerry,
I've been playing with booting fedora on the XO, mostly with anaconda (F9/F10) to be able to run an install on the XO itself for the XS. I'll try to boot the F11 kernel/installer when one is available, it looks like there are issues building anaconda atm, there is no isolinux directory on the mirrors...
Perhaps someone could shed some light on the issues with rawhide that were uncovered thus far. Is there a tracker somewhere?
F10 boots, but here's what happens when I try to boot Rawhide:

Thanks,

kernel commandline: root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2 liveimg console=tty0 console=tty2
If your booting the live image shouldn't the root= line be something like: root=LABEL=<device label>... You could use the device name also: root=/dev/mtd0
Have a look at the mkliveinitrd part of mkinitrd at: http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=blob;f=mkliveinitrd;hb=24d6d9...
Without the /dev part the init script will not have anything to match the root= against, in the "case $root in" part of the init file, resulting in the udev rules not getting created for the /dev/root symlink.
Hoping that is the fix,
Jerry
