[fedora-arm] Issue running F17-GA on Guruplug (Kirkwood) -- kernel doesn't boot?

[Derek Atkins]

Hey all,

Finally found some time to try to get this up and running, and of course
I have trouble out of the starting gate.  It's a fresh Guruplug and the
F17 GA release image without any modifications.  I wrote the kirkwood
image onto a 16G USB flasg drive for boot/root and followed the rest of
the instructions on the wiki ( both
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Fedora_17_GA and
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Kirkwood ).

Alas, it's a no-go.  The system isn't booting, it just hangs at
"Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."

I added the arcNumber and mainlineLinux variables, but it doesn't seem
to make a difference whether I include them or not.

I'm sure I'm missing something silly/stupid but googling all day hasn't
helped.  SO.. I'm reaching out.

Here's the session log.

Thanks,
