One more data point.
After some initial peeking in the ramdisk, I copied the 2212 ext3 image 
to a SD card,
inserted it in the XO and tried to boot from it.
That works !!!
Of course, no activities since /home/olpc is also on the SD card and the 
jffs does not get mounted.
So it seems USB is the problem. There is one warning message early in 
the boot at approximately
2 seconds about using an obsolete function in the sd driver, to use 
bus-methods instead.
I am writing from memory, so this is not exact. Could this have 
something to do with it, since the
sd driver is needed for USB?
