The system has 512 MB of RAM. A kirkwood SOC and a xgi z11 video chip. I have uboot in the OpenRd client set to boot the kernel from a boot partition on a sata drive and have the rootfs in another partition on the sata drive. I use a file for swap. The roofs is Fedora 17. I downloaded kernel-kirkwood-3.8.2-202.fc18.armv5tel.rpm from your scratch build to the sata disk in the OpenRD Client and then ran su -c 'yum -v localinstall kernel-kirkwood-3.8.2-202.fc18.armv5tel.rpm' The installation went well. It did take a bit of time during the cleanup phase and I assume that is due to dracut running. I then rebooted the OpenRD Client and it booted cleanly with the new kernel.
