Something about Fedora's vmlinuz fails to load the initrd when it is
wrapped with mkelfimage. Full details at this page.
mkelfimage is necessary to wrap the vmlinuz and initrd into a single
bootable image if your hardware uses coreboot. qemu network booting
exhibits the same broken behavior, so this should be easy for others to
test without special coreboot hardware.
My latest theory: Something about how the Fedora kernel is configured or
built made it incompatible with mkelfimage. Ubuntu's recent kernels
work while our Fedora kernels from F8 (and possibly all the way back to
2006 as OLPC encountered) are broken.

Here is Ubuntu's kernel config file if anyone wants to compare it.
Any ideas?
