This is related to the name change of the firmware, /boot/olpc.fth is no
longer part of that rpm package, but not part of the kernel package yet.
There is an interim fix in upstream OOB[0] that is yet to be applied to
the dextrose git repo. My builds work as I'm supplying a custom olpc.fth
file anyway. I push a commit[1] to bleeding-edge that should fix you up.
