David,
I would be happy to help, however I have been unable to get the F17-GA
image to run on my Guruplug.. If I could get that running then I could
attempt to help with the F18 work.
Thank you for offering to help. I was looking at the F17-GA test results:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/2012-06-18-VFAD-Fedora_17_Test_Day#Overall_Test_Results_and_Board_Assignment
and the Kirkwood image was tested on GuruPlug. Perhaps you can ping one
of the testers of that image for help getting it working on your Guruplug.
Thanks again,

It was brought to my attention that the F18 Alpha lacked a Kirkwood
image, which we had for F17. We have been creating images for F18
using livemedia-creator (anaconda and lorax), where the F17 images
were manually created using a custom script.
The process we use is described on the wiki:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installer
All the builders we have used for creating the F18 images are F17
armv7hl (hard-fp) systems. I personally have no experience with the
Kirkwood devices, so I don't know what is needed to set up the image
or configure the bootloader.
We would appreciate volunteers running F17 on Kirkwood devices to help
in creating an F18 image for those devices. The only development
involved would be customizing the kickstart file to 1) include any
special packages required for the device, and 2) set up any bootloader
specific files/scripts needed for the device. The remainder of the
effort would be to build and test the image. The hardware
requirements include an ARMv5 device running F17-GA or later with
access to external storage (requires space for the packages being
installed and the resulting image) and swap (requires >1GB total
memory).
We have created v7hl images using a Trim Slice (1GB memory plus 500MB
swap) with external (USB) hard drive, so something similar would
probably work.
I am willing to provide assistance and answer questions about using
the tools and modifying the kickstart config file, but I have no ARMv5
hardware on which to build or test these images.
Thank you,
d.marlin
