Known Issues:
* Composite video out does not work
Selecting composite video out (see README) causes the system to hang
on boot. Investigation of this is pending.
   Thanks to Hans for his work on this, this allows me to use the
Cubieboard instead of the Raspi and that feel far more sane :-)

However I have 2 board running now and both exhibit the same problem, a
constant extra load of 1 which i guess is due to some process stuck on
I/O but i can't identify the issue:

    :
Err:          0
[root@cubie ~]# uname -a
Linux cubie 3.4.24+ #6 Tue Jan 15 22:57:26 CET 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l
GNU/Linux
[root@cubie ~]#

   This is up2date Fedora 18, with Hans experimental kernel (note a yum
update "upgrades" the kernel and the Cubies won't boot again, one need
to reinstall kernel and associated modules).

There is no Fedora kernel to update for the a10. This rootfs image was "borrowed" from another platform, so when you "yum update", it updates the kernel for whatever platform the rootfs was made. That kernel, of course, will not boot on an a10 board. You'll need to modify the yum repo definitions to exclude the kernel package to avoid this.

The proper "fix" will be to use a kernel installed via rpm (typically through yum) and a "remix" image for the specific board (i.e., Cubieboard), which has a cubie-release package that excludes the non-a10 kernel and points to the yum repo that has the Cubie specific packages (kernel, release, etc.). Then "yum update" should Just Work(tm).
