[fedora-arm] failure booting SFP XFCE Versatile_Express image in QEMU

[Eric Smith]

I'm running an F17 x86_64 host. This evening I downloaded the SFP XFCE 
Desktop image and kernel for Versatile Express as described on the wiki 
page, installed qemu-system-arm, and started it using the command line 
give on that page.  It when through normal-looking kernel startup, 
started doing a bit of GUI stuff, then it displayed an unhappy monitor 
icon and the completely useless message "Oh no! Something has gone 
wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please 
contact a system administrator."

Has anyone else seen that? Any hints on what's wrong or how to fix it?

Thanks!
Eric
