Hi Niels,

I have a Genesi Efika mx smartbook and have been trying to get a newer kernel running on it so I can try out Fedora 14 on it when the packages become available. The following blog entry talks about building 2.6.38 kernel:

http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2011/05/16/linux-2-6-38-on-efika-mx-smartbook/

I have been able to cross compile a kernel and install it, but I haven't been able to boot the machine with the new kernel. I  built and installed a newer version of module-init-tools (3.16) on the machine, but maybe there are other rpms that need to be newer for this to work.
