Thank you Martin.
I have seen your comment in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Troubleshooting_AV#Images_from_the_camera_are_black
but couldn't find any further instructions. From what I explored I must also remove the motherboard (I have a CL1 ver 3 machine). Correct?

Bobby a clarification, Ubuntu has nothing to do with the problem (runs for a year now on the XO) or the initrd unpacking (was a Puppy-linux initrd). Was just to point out that at the time I was not running Fedora/Sugar and the NAND was not even mounted (to be affected in the consecutive boot failure)
