I never really liked that method, because it was imaging an existing installation over to an XO from a virtual machine ... seemed difficult to reproduce in an automated fashion. So I wrote my own scripts in September last year that built a filesystem using debootstrap: git://dev.laptop.org/users/quozl/uxo This used two kernels, one for XO-1, one for XO-1.5, with an olpc.fth that decided between them. The initrd was included and worked fine. default.conf is where the kernels are specified. C_KERNEL=2.6.31_xo1-20110320.1409.1.olpc.3d8536c28d6c5a1 C_KERNEL_ORIGIN=http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/olpc-2.6.31-xo1 D_KERNEL=2.6.31_xo1.5-20110320.1401.1.olpc.3d8536c28d6c5a1 D_KERNEL_ORIGIN=http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/olpc-2.6.31 However, I only ever booted from USB on XO-1. The initrd might not have liked the SD card slot. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
