I bought several Kirkwood devices with the expectation to run Fedora on them and would like to test it at least on a Seagate Dockstar, but the little instructions and installer support always scared me away. For example for Debian there are really good instructions to get the installer running: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/index.html It also includes instructions to update the boot loader and supports installing on USB, SD card and eSATA. The Fedora instructions only mention to dd an image on a SD card on the other hand.A Maybe Fedora ARM could reuse some of the information provided for Debian to ease installation of Fedora ARM as well.
