It is the extended press and hold, not like the tap twice to power off
timing, sorry for the poor choice of words :-)

They are all out in the schools now, but I can state that the serial
numbers are all in the range:  SHC13100D00 to SHC13100DFF, as all of the
machines in this batch are from a single order of 100 machines.

buildrpm et al on the XO-1.75

2012-06-10 Thread Yioryos Asprobounitis
I was trying few things with the arm-3.0-wip kernel and was building fine in 
both x86_64 machines and the XO-1.75 itself! 
However, buildrpm had some problems. For one, it defaults to /tmp as a builddir 
which makes it unusable in any XO. I can understand that is an infrastructure 
script but defaulting to maybe $HOME and cleaning up at the end, can serve all 
cases.

The other problem I had on the XO-1.75(os13) was that although the kernel was 
building fine, the rpm building failed with:
`error: create archive failed on file 
/home/olpc/kernel_sources/olpc-2.6/olpc/SOURCES/olpc-3.0.tar.bz2: cpio: Bad 
magic' 
That's too cryptic for me I'm afraid. Any pointers?
Could it be becase the source was patched? 

Regarding the kernel changes I tried, I noticed that both usb and sound fail to 
build as modules but they are OK in the kernel.
The problem is actually during modpost where are 
sound/soc/mmp/snd-soc-olpc-xo-1-75.ko and  drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko are 
found "undefined" and thus module building fails.
If anyone has any ideas...
Thx

C-a means ctrl+a, that is; press ctrl, press a, release a, release
ctrl.

The convention is an artefact from the documentation of the screen
program.  The same convention is used in emacs.  I've changed to ctrl+
notation.  I don't know what notation is standard.  I don't like + or
- or / notation because they imply use of those keys.
