You can run revisor and add the --kickstart-exact-nevra option then: --kickstart-exact-nevra Force Revisor to interpret the package manifest as complete package nevra (name, epoch, version, release and architecture).

Writeable file mappings are just not supported by jffs2, and cause mmap() to return an error. glibc likes to do it when building the locale-archive, and I vaguely remember I had a workaround for this in our fork of the glibc rpm. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Yay, stock F10 is now running GNOME fine. Some more things I found: * I was not using -a when copying the files, so owners and all kind of other stuff was not preserved. That's the cause of the hal failure, new script attached. * With selinux enabled you cannot login from the console. Perhaps jffs2/selinux issues? I'm just disabling it for now. -selinux --enforcing +selinux --disabled * rpm does not work. It complains about mmap failure when reading the db, jffs2 related? * X doesn't actually crash the system, it's just very broken :) If you switch to vt and back you can also see some parts of the gdm screen. It looks definitely like a regression in the updates. If I build an image with updates disabled X works fine.

The only difference is that the initrd contains more modules, because of the livecd-tools change I posted as a patch.

D'oh, I think OLPC asked Warren to push that X driver update, and it sounds like we didn't test it properly. Is there a good way to select which version of an RPM to use in kickstart, maybe? I tried building Rawhide, and got the error you mentioned, linked below. Running "bash-3.2# mount -t jffs2 mtd0 /mnt" works, though, so I'm not sure what's up / why it's not creating /dev/root properly.

Chris what are you using for the /boot/olpc.fth file? I have luck using
the below, in that file, on a usb-drive:
\ Boot script for USB boot

( new-ramdisk-adr )
ramdisk-adr over /ramdisk move ( new-ramdisk-adr )

;
' high-ramdisk to load-ramdisk
[then]
: set-bootpath-dev ( -- )
" /chosen" find-package if ( phandle )
" bootpath" rot get-package-property 0= if ( propval$ )
get-encoded-string ( bootpath$ )
[char] \ left-parse-string 2nip( dn$ )
dn-buf place( )
then
then
" /sd" dn-buf count sindex 0>= if
" sd:"
else
" u:"
then
" BOOTPATHDEV" $set-macro
;
set-bootpath-dev
" text ks=hd:LABEL=XSRepo:/ks.cfg " to boot-file
" ${BOOTPATHDEV}\boot\initrd.img" expand$ to ramdisk
" ${BOOTPATHDEV}\boot\vmlinuz" expand$ to boot-device
unfreeze
boot
The above code is found in the latest livecd-tools and is added if you
pass --XO on the cmdline. I'm booting the xs-05 installer with the above
code, you would have to edit: "" to boot-file for that boot arguments
you want and the vmlinuz and initrd.img lines or make links pointing to
the real files.

Hello, I spent some time trying to get Sugar on a stick images (which are basically livecd-tools based Fedora spins) running on the XO from nand. Converting the image to jffs2 and adding cafe_nand and jffs2 to the initrd was enough to make it boot. I have two weird problems: 1 haldaemon fails to start and I couldn't find any error log. 2 X "fades" a couple of times and then hangs the system. I can reproduce 2 if I write the same image to an usb stick using Fedora XO livecd-iso-to-disk. Could be either a regression in the F10 updates or something wrong in the way SoaS images are built. I have absolutely no idea about 1, but it would seem to be related to jffs2/initrd, since it works fine from the usb stick.
