Hi,
I'd like to renew this thread, since we didn't get a great amount of
feedback last time. Also, one of the issues mentioned (but a little

from olpc.fth. Having stale code duplicated from the firmware in
olpc.fth bit us

This will continue to install the new kernel as /boot/vmlinuz and the
initramfs as/boot/{actrd,initrd}.img.

Yes.
is there a way to fall back on the signed zip version of the initrd
if there's no plain version?
We did try to do this, back in the thread OFW unsecure
Hi,
At the moment, /boot in our images looks like this:
Development builds - kernel is found at /boot/vmlinuz, initramfs at
/boot/initrd.img and /boot/actrd.img. Unsecure boot is always used,
meaning that olpc.fth is executed, which loads the kernel and
initrd.img from those locations.

Our builds will always ship the kernel and initramfs *only* in their
actos/runos/actrd/runrd zip forms.
I'm an user who always runs 'yum upgrade kernel' whenever a newer
version of the kernel appears in the olpc rpm repositories.
I know how to copy the output of 'yum upgrade kernel' to where
