Re: [Sugar-devel] New SoaS-on-XO-1 build done: soasxo57
Thanks for the info, Martin. I hadn't realized that both your effort (Soas-on-XO-1) and - I presume - Fedora11-on-XO, are optionally complete OS replacements for Sugar on the XO-1. I also assume that (an updated) Sugar is included in both these system upgrades, and that we might well expect ongoing upgrades. (I know - no guarantees.)

I downloaded soasxo57.tree.tar.lzma
This image does not have /boot/vmlinuz or /vmlinuz. There is only
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-28.rc2.fc11.i586
Fixed in soasxo58. Two kernel packages are being installed by
kickstart/anaconda: OLPC's and stock Fedora's. OLPC's olpc-bootanim
does not provide /sbin/plymouth, which some standard dracut module(s)
require. The stock kernel is installed second, so when its %post
scripts try to create /boot/{vmlinuz,initrd.img}, they fail. The
/boot symlinks are left nonexistent.
For now I have worked around this by installing the OLPC kernel
_again_ in kickstart/anaconda's %post, but that's a nasty kludge.
Also, there is no initrd or olpcrd (that I could find).
Fixed in soasxo58 - same problem as above.
Thanks for trying it out. I would like to rig up a virtual machine
and some automated tests so that you don't have to find this out the
hard way.

Same error on power cycle.
boot device is actually the initrd - there's a cut paste bug in my
olpc.fth that does
${DN}${PN}\olpcrd.img to ramdisk
...instead of
${DN}${PN}\initrd.img to ramdisk
I've fixed this in git and will publish a new build overnight.
But this error should not prevent boot for NAND installs, as the
kernel has jffs2 compiled in. So I'm not sure why you're seeing a
hang.
I've been booting from a USB drive (not NAND), and usb drivers are
modular so the initrd is really required. In the forthcoming build
I've also added rootwait so that the LABEL=OLPCRoot argument can be
used effectively in this case.
I will also test the SD behaviour later but would appreciate any
feedback on that.
Thanks for trying this out.
