OK. I'm lost
Cloning the Git olpc-2.6 a) kernel patches fail b) a lot of kernel sources are missing. Thus a nightmare.
>From what I understood "make xo_1-kernel-rpm" will work only with the git clone and  _not_ with the kernel src.rpm. Is that wrong. Does it also work with the kernel sources provided in http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos/f11-xo1/ ??? 
(I guess I could try it :-)
