If you want to test the kernel used in the F18 ARM Beta release 
candidate the best option is to download the kirkwood image then extract 
the kernel and initramfs.  Here's a link to the image:

 
http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-beta-rc1/F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz

Ucompress and as root use kpartx to expose the partitions as loopback 
devices:

   xz -d F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz
   kpartx -av F18-kirkwood-20121220.img

 From here you can mount the partition with the files you need.  I'm not 
sure which one it is so you'll have to experiment:

   mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /somewhere

Good luck, and don't forget to umount and kpartx -d that image when 
you're done.
