I was having to use a non-Fedora kernel which was less than optimal. Also, having the kernel in nand made it harder to update. If we have it on the micro SD card, its easy to update using standard update utilities (yum).
Now the uboot image is available, and we can load both uImage and uInitrd from MMC, so I'm going to do some upgrades.
First item is to get that updated uboot code loaded. Again, we are lucky that someone else had done the work of compiling for us. On this page, you can download the updated uboot 2011.12 (Jan 08 2012) image (u-boot.kwb). In my previous explanation of upgrading, I explained tftp loading of the images. This time, I'm going to use a usb stick. Newer uboots seem much less finicky.
Be sure and printenv a copy of your environment as you will lose all these settings on upgrade.

Note that I searched for partitions and uboot told me that my USB FAT filesystem was on USB (for GuruPlug MMC appears as USB) device 1, parition 1, or 1:1.
Now we need to fix the environment that was lost.

That gets you back to where you were, but with the updated uboot. If you want to go ahead and update to Fedora 17, you can then download the Kirkwood ARM image, copy it to a micro SD card, and then boot it by changing these variables:
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10
bootcmd=run x_bootcmd_usb; ${x_bootcmd_uimage}; ${x_bootcmd_uinitrd}; setenv bo}
x_boot_mem=bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000
x_bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200
x_bootargs_root=root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10
x_bootcmd_ethernet=ping 192.168.2.1
x_bootcmd_kernel=nand read.e 0x6400000 0x100000 0x400000
x_bootcmd_uimage=fatload usb 1:1 0x00800000 uImage-kirkwood
x_bootcmd_uinitrd=fatload usb 1:1 0x01100000 uInitrd-kirkwood
x_bootcmd_usb=usb start; usb tree; usb part; fatinfo usb 1; fatls usb 1
Then your boot will look something like this:
