It is the right place, thank you! But I'm not sure if the olpc.fth file will work as is, the kernel is not /boot/vmlinuz but /boot/vmlinuz-$VERSION. You can reach it trough /vmlinuz, but it is a symlink located in a different partition. Another thing to do might be optimizing the disc schema for the XO. We are currently using this as default: -Ext3 /boot (min 128, max 256MB) -swap (min 256, max 300% ramsize) -Xfs / (min 3GB, max 10GB) -Xfs /home (min 600MB, no max) Maybe something like this would work better for that machine (especially if its ssd disk is affected by write amplification problems[1]): -Ext2 / (min 2GB, max 5GB) -swap (min 256, max 200% ramsize) -Ext2 /home (min 600MB, no max) 1- http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/ _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
