Martin was building an ext3 image of an XS server for use on the XO. I added some bits to /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd and called mkinitrd in %post of the kickstart file. This initrd doesn't play nice when booting F9's 2.6.27 kernel. Remaking the initrd on the XO doesn't help, using the hints from: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2009-April/003212.html > My custom initramfs definitely boots on my XO. > Also the stock F9 one did too, but it landed a lot of errors during > boot (which took several seconds to enumerate). > I have anaconda running on the XO, installs to usbkeys/booting from are fine with F9.

I just d/l'ed http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/f11-beta/20090403.bootable.gz this kernel opps for me also when booting from the MMC card. Bad mmc card on my part maybe?
