I think we need to make a distinction here between "kernel" and 
"distribution". If you can boot a kernel, you can boot any distro's 
rootfs (I'm completely ignoring installers here).

So to recap, you need a bootable solution for an A6 and/or ES B3 
Pandaboard. A bit of googling finds this:

http://www.svtronics.com/support/pandaboard-es-b3-developers-guide/

which includes binaries that should get you booting with Ubuntu on an ES 
B3 (it may or may not work on the A6). Have you or your engineer tried 
those binaries? If this works then getting Fedora, or any other ARM 
distribution's rootfs working is going to be pretty trivial.
