Re: Babbage Net School (Chicago Tutoring Center) Laptop Deployment

[John Watlington]

A few quick questions:
- Do you know what is installed on the laptop ?   (Sugar ?  Fedora ?)

- You say it won't startup all the way any more.  Can you describe
   when it stops ?  (e.g. the screen lights up and the XO logo appears
   with a single dot below, it stops after the third dot, etc.)

- Can you boot it while holding down the "check" key on the right
   hand side of the screen (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cheat_codes) ?
   Let us know what it prints before stopping.

Regards,
John

My XO Boots but gets stuck loading the initrd.

OFW Q2E34

Here is what I see on the screen

Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\olpc.fth Arguments:
Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\vmlinuz0 Arguments: root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2
liveimg console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 boot_delay=3 fbcon=font:SUN12x22
Loading ramdisk image from nand:\boot\initrd0.img

It stays there its been about 20 minutes now.

Any ideas?

I tried two different USB sticks to create the img.

Thanks
Dave

There is a file /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/keyhandler.py on the XO that

presumably defines key use.



Does anyone know if that file gets munged will installing another build

replace it with a fresh copy?


Yes, it will.
