Hi, Today's (unmodified) Rawhide build boots into X on the XO, so I made some disk images for it. They contain both Sugar and GNOME, and you can choose between the two in GDM. Sebastian Dziallas made the kickstart file that we're using. http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/20090217/ Installation instructions: * Get a developer key, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_Developer_Keys * Upgrade to latest OFW, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e32 NAND: * put 20090217.img and .crc on a USB key * in OFW: copy-nand u:\20090217.img USB/SD: * insert a USB key that is at least 2G, and: zcat 20090217.bootable.gz > /dev/sdX * SD should work, but we're seeing a problem with the kernel SD driver qemu: * sudo qemu-kvm -cdrom 20090217.iso Known problems: * wireless crashes the machine on boot, so it is disabled. * fonts are tiny in Sugar * The tty framebuffer is corrupted; fix sent upstream, not made it back to Fedora yet Steps to reproduce the build: git clone git://dev.laptop.org/projects/fedora-xo sudo livecd-creator --cache=cache -c ~/fedora-xo/olpc-desktop.ks (this produces the ISO) sudo sh livecd-iso-to-xo.sh 20090217.iso 20090217.img (produces NAND image and CRC) sudo /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk --format --xo --xo-no-home 20090217.iso /dev/sdX1 (produces a bootable disk or SD card) sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=20090217.bootable && gzip 20090217.bootable (produces a raw image of the created disk) Please report any problems you find to the list, thanks, - Chris. -- Chris Ball <cjb(a)laptop.org&gt; _______________________________________________ Fedora-olpc-list mailing list Fedora-olpc-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-olpc-list

Well, I followed these instructions and for the very first time ever I've got a frowny face on my XO. I've got firmware Q2E32.

How can I help debug?

I have the latest firmware, the developer key on my USB stick in /security/develop.sig, I ran "disable-security" in Open Firmware, and I copied the image to the nand. I no longer get the frowny face, I can't get past "Loading ramdisk image from nand:\boot\initrd0.img ...". Is this a symptom of the SD card support issues? Michael.
