When booting the XO-1 (q2e45) or XO-1.5 (q3a61) from an ext3 formatted USB
stick or external SDcard, the OFW reports that the "ext3 journal needs
recovery".
However, stopping the boot process at this exact point (power button),

G'day Yioryos,
The "ext3 journal needs recovery" is emitted by OpenFirmware when the
ext3 filesystem contains a bit flag set in the metadata. Linux sets
this bit in various situations. fsck.ext3 does not *report* this bit.
When the filesystem is mounted, even read-only, the kernel mount will

Hi folks,
we are finding that this hits us very often, and makes working on the
XO a damn pain.
We had seen it but thought it wasn't frequent. Now that we're working
full steam ahead on F14, the complaints mark the passing of each hour.
Daniel's promised to look at it, but the whole situation mi

Is it possible to lock an XO that came from the factory unlocked?
All of our XOs are currently unlocked and we are comfortable with that
for the moment. However, we may want to change this in the future.

Yes, but that'll use OLPC's keys (if they were installed in
manufacturing). You might want to use your own keys, which

In what way does the test fail?
What version of OpenFirmware was used to test with?

Good point. It isn't the packet loss that I'm looking for, (there will
always be some, and even more when flooding), but rather complaints of
SDHCI problems from the kernel, to match against the complaints
