I've run badblocks on the SD card and it seems to be completely fine.

When I type

	boot

Fedora starts booting, there seem to be some error messages under
the bar at the bottom of the screen (they are overwritten quite fast
but I can take a picture if it seems important) and when the bar at
the bottom of the screen is all white, the screen clears and I get

	--------------------------------------
	WARNING: Cannot find root file system!
	--------------------------------------

	Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue
	the boot sequence.

	bash: no job control in this shell
	bash-3.2#

I'm affraid I'm facing some strange nondeterministic problem,
provided other people seem to be able to boot the Snap3 just
fine, and for me it seems to give error message but then starts
to boot, and when part of the boot process finishes, it breaks
again.
