Changes (by fanoush):

  * version:  1.5/1.0 Software Build os874 aka 11.2.0 => Development build
              as of this date


Comment:

 works exactly the same with latest 11.3.0 os5

 However I was able to boot into the system by changing two things
 1. replacing root=LABEL=OLPCRoot in olpc.fth by root=/dev/sda1
 2. replacing initrd by actrd

 so it probably boils down to two issues:
 1. LABEL=OLPCRoot mechanism somehow does not work
 2. default initrd for XO-1 is missing USB modules, or to be more precise -
 it is missing _all_ kernel modules, whole /lib/modules is missing inside
 initrd.

 My initial goal was to make custom build of 11.2.0 with cs_CZ locale
 (preferably with versioned_fs disabled) and boot if from usb. I have now
 succeeded in this goal.
