I didn't manage to build kernel for XO-1.5 in my fedora-14 VM...

The os-builder ini file is:

    [global]
    fedora_release=14
    olpc_version_major=11
    olpc_version_minor=2
    olpc_version_release=0
    target_platform=XO-1
    langs=en_US
    modules=
            base,
            demoxo,
            buildnr_from_file,
            ubifs_image,
            repos,
            custom_packages

    [repos]
    fedora=fedora,fedora-updates
    olpc_publicrpms_1=1,f14
    olpc_publicrpms_2=1,f14-xo1
    custom_repo_1=1,schoolserver,http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/Server:/1/Fedora-14/
    custom_repo_2=2,kernel,http://people.sugarlabs.org/~alsroot/demoxo/rpms/xo1/
    add_excludes_to=fedora,fedora-updates

    [custom_packages]
    add_packages = sugar-server-demoxo, rsync

    [buildnr_from_file]
    path=latestbuild

The only difference between demoxo and xo1 modules is that it changes init level

    # No need in X
    sed -i 's/^id:5/id:3/' /etc/inittab

(but olpc-os-builder magically stopped work in my VM due to lack of
 sugar-(base,datastore) deps)

yup, but keeping in mind that if sugar-server-demoxo will be used, its
/etc/init.d/schoolserver contains XO specific instructions.
