Have you tried to use a vanilla Fedora kernel on the XO-1.5 with a
serial console to see how far you get? I think we should have enough
to boot it to at least a serial console and even further.

I've been meaning to spin some F-22 images for the XO-1/1.5 to see if
they boot and how far they get on the various devices and what
works/doesn't work.

I think trying the vanilla 4.0.4 Fedora kernel builds that ships with
GA would be the first port of call. From there we can start to see
what works/doesn't work from there.

Later in June I was going to look @ this further, possibly with a 4.1
dev kernel, but at the moment I don't have the time.
