I can't see the image right now but it might be that the new fedora
kernel has been installed last and "taken over" from the OLPC kernel.

"rpm -e --force kernel" might fix it.

You should double-check that the symlink in /boot points to the olpc
kernel and that there is no initrd symlink -- since ISTR that you're
using an XO and dracut will refust to boot on that at the moment.

In fact, you might try trashing your /boot/initrd before you also
remove the kernel, in case the Fedora kernel boots (I don't know that
it does, and suspect it doesn't).
