FYI, this build (and likely earlier 3.* builds) won't boot because of a
typo in EXTRAVERSION that causes uname -r to return 3.1.0-libre-*
instead of 3.1.0-libre.* (note “-” != .). As a result, userland won't
find modules in initramfs.
The workaround is to rename (or link) /lib/modules/3.1.0-libre.* to
3.1.0-libre-* and then run
dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.1.0-libre.*.img 3.1.0-libre-*
(expanding the *s manually)
The upcoming 0.rc9.git0.0.fc17.1 and 0.rc9.git.0.fc16 (not .1) will have
this bug fixed, hopefully not requiring any such workarounds.
