 olpc/commit/?id=d0972f03cfc807ccbb2bc88f6a4eec5decc03704 patch] to dracut-
 modules-olpc to restore support for XO-1 boot from external SD card,
  * released [http://rpmdropbox.laptop.org/f18-xo1/dracut-modules-
 olpc-0.7.7-1.fc18.i686.rpm dracut-modules-olpc-0.7.7-1.fc18.i686.rpm] for

 new kernel],

 Test method #1:
  * on an existing install, ''yum install -y kernel'', and manually copy
 filesystem to a partitioned SD card,

 Test method #2:
  * in olpc-os-builder change jffs2_image to sd_card_image, generate .zd
 file,
  * use devalias and fs-update on an XO-1.5 or later to write to card, or
 use zdextract in bios-crypto on XO-1.
