Similar to what I was running into. I haven't looked at it in a while but off the top of my head. The ramfs was too big for the memory. Where it was read into. Or the memory addresses are diffetent from the guruplug and it was overwriting the defaults. On the guruplug, dhcp didn't work, so the second reboot always failed, because it wasn't on the network.. the guruplug failed with a flaky network driver Which I think is fixed on a newer kernel.. hard setting it to 100fdx seemed to work better..
Yum update failed with unsigned packages, and unavailable packages for the guruplug. I haven't tried lately maybe that actually got fixed.

I just downloaded the image again from:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/18/Images/arm/Fedo...
This time I took a 4Gb usb drive I got from MicroCenter that still had a FAT partition. On my F18 notebook as root, I ran:
xzcat Fedora-18-kirkwood-arm.img.xz > /dev/sdc1
Hi Rob,
In your above example your writing to the first partition. Try changing that to:
xzcat Fedora-18-kirkwood-arm.img.xz > /dev/sdc
Hope that works,
ARGH!!!!
That is what fdisk -l told me was how it was seeing the device. Foolish of me to believe it.
So this time it worked, but strangely. It booted, showed some errors, did some stuff, then rebooted. The reboot showed some errors, but this time when the kernel started, nothing else was showing on the netconsole, so I decided to try to ssh in, and it worked!
I rebooted and it did not come up. I did a power cycle, and the netconsole came alive showing much the same output as before.
Below is the netconsole output from the second boot.
