Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 dsd]:
 > /etc/fstab is not a definitive source of mount options or filesystem
 types. (I bet it says ext3 on XO-1 as well)

 That's true when using the OLPC initramfs on XOs. However, standard
 dracut, used to create a bootable image for testing builds in a VM, will
 take {{{fstab}}} as authoritative and fail to mount the root file system
 because of the mismatch.

 The [https://patchwork.sugarlabs.org/patch/1209/ fix] is trivial: adjust
 {{{modules/base/ksmain.10.core.inc}}} to let kickstart use the same file
 system type as you're using for the final image (i.e. ext4).
