Our kernel is an older revision of the OLPC kernel. The later verions
incorporate changes aimed at the XO-1.5 which broke something on the
XO-1 (I think it was the camera, or maybe suspend/resume). I've also
turned off some debugging options to speed up the kernel and reduce
memory usage. You can check the details in my repository published on
git.paraguayeduca.org (sorry, I can't provide the exact URL because I'm
offline).

dracut-olpc-modules contains just two small patches: one is a bugfix for
booting from jffs2 filesystems. The second patch just adds some debug
output which allowed me to make sense of this bug, so I thought it may
be useful to someone else in the future :-)

The dracut fixes have already been merged into the OLPC git repository,
but I don't recommend using the OLPC version yet because it contains
very fresh code for key delegation which has not yet seen much testing.
