I had problems after installing the HDMI image from 
http://www.odroid.in/mirror/old-releases/ODROID-X/fedora-18-3.6.8/ which 
date back to 2012. It's possible the later images for -XU will run on -XU.

This is under Ubuntu which would differ greatly from Fedora.
Rather lengthy but quite straightforward.
"git clone git://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git -b odroid-3.8.y" which 
creates a linux directory.
Checking  linux/Makefile
VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 8
SUBLEVEL = 13
EXTRAVERSION = .11
NAME = Remoralised Urchins Update

Then these commands:-
mv linux linux-3.8.13.11
cd linux-3.8.13.11
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make oldconfig
make-kpkg -j 4 --initrd linux_headers linux_image

which results in 2 .deb files
dkpg -i ../linux-headers-3.8.13.11_3.8.13.11-10.00.Custom_armhf.deb 
../linux-image-3.8.13.11_3.8.13.11-10.00.Custom_armhf.deb
