Oh! I wasn't aware of that as I don't currently have an XO to test
(although that should be sorted soon) not that I know enough about the
boot/kernel of the XO to be of much help fixing it. I wonder if any of
the 50 odd people on fedora-devel that got an XO in the lead up to the
F-10 release could help with that? Greg, do you know of someone that
isn't as busy as Jeremy that could help shed some light on XO boot
issues?
