 Used 'rpm -Uvh' to install
 kernel-2.6.31_xo1-20091117.1734.1.olc.331d136.i586.rpm from http://xs-
 dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos/f11-xo1 into an XO-1 system that had os8 already
 updated (as of 11/17/2009) with the latest 'yum upgrade' packages.

 Booting the resulting system stalled after messages to the screen:
 {{{
  [   13.481633] dracut: Mounted root filesystem: /dev/mtdblock0
  dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/mtdblock0
  Usage: /usr/libexec/initramfs-olpc/upfs.py SYSROOT NAME MODE
  Failure condition in initramfs

  Signal caught!

  Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
 }}}

 [This is not the first time I have seen this kind of a failure after
 applying a new kernel to an F11-XO1 system.]
