After installing it, on the next fedora kernel update, olpc dracut modules apparently kick in modifying initrd accordingly.
On next reboot a get a nice "Hello, (deployment people) of the world!"
And then a not so nice "Exception: Not an XO laptop" followed by kernel panic.
Take home message. Installing dracut-modules-olpc in a non-XO lap top is not recommended.

Which brings back the original question, regarding ways to build a modified XO kernel.

Any suggestions?
