Can you describe how you got to this point?
I turned on XO-1 that I had upgraded to 11.2.0 earlier, it failed to boot. I might have run commands to delete stuff to free up disk space. I transcribed some errors are below. I installed the q2f04rd firmware from USB and it didn't help. I'll try the Tiny Core Linux, and dig up an SD card for booting 11.3.0. >> * Can I jump through hoops to mount the JFFS2 .img and transfer its >> contents (cpio?) to an ext3 partition? > > Yes, except it isn't an .img. % file /opt/download/os883.img /opt/download/os883.img: Linux jffs2 filesystem data little endian and Google produces complicated ways to mount it. > Yes, the .tar.lzma does not have boot files in /boot, you need to create > the symlink to the versioned boot directory. % sudo ln -s versions/pristine/883/boot boot and now ok boot u:\boot\vmlinuz Kernel startup progresses for a bit, but then prints VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option: here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) so presumably I have to make these mystical olpc.fth or boot command changes or GRUB modifications. Any documentation for that?
