Rebuilding OLPC initramfs
This procedure can be followed either on your regular Fedora x86 system, or on the XO itself.
Install the package
sudo yum install dracut-modules-olpc
Now, you can regenerate the initramfs as follows:
sudo dracut --force --conf /etc/dracut-olpc-runrd.conf output.img
Or for the activation initramfs:
sudo dracut --force --conf /etc/dracut-olpc-actrd.conf output.img
The output will be saved as output.img.
Special considerations for Fedora 14 and older
If working on your main system, configure dracut so that it does not include OLPC's modules in your "normal" initramfs next time you update your kernel. Modify /etc/dracut.conf and add:
omit_dracutmodules="olpc-boot olpc-common olpc-customization olpc-python olpc-activation olpc-busybox"
If you do not do this, your system may fail to boot next time you install or upgrade your kernel.
