Another useful verification item: turn on the laptop, wait to hear the boot jingle, press escape. Connect USB disk. At the "ok" prompt type "dir u:\" This will check that the laptop can read the USB disk successfully. > * I booted my Ubuntu laptop. > * I inserted the 1 GB USB thumb drive. > * I opened Chrome > * I went to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware > * I clicked on XO-1.5 > * I clicked on OLPC Firmware q3c16 > * I clicked on q3c16.rom which saved it to ~/Download/ > * I typed > mkdir /media/usb/boot > cp -v q3c16.rom /media/usb/boot > diff q3c16.rom /media/usb/boot > sudo shutdown -h now > > * I inserted the 1 GB USB thumb drive in the XO and pressed the > power button while holding the X key on the gamepad. > * I released the X when told it to do so. > * After a few minutes, I saw three icons, and a message at the top > of the screen "Activation lease not found". It's not clear to me why you are holding the X key here, are you expecting that to upgrade the firmware from the rom file? It doesn't quite work like that. What the X does is make the laptop boot in secure mode. Your laptop has security disabled (as you mentioned: no wp tag) but by pressing X you are simulating security-enabled. As designed, this then goes and looks for an activation lease or developer key, and fails. (it wouldn't have upgraded the firmware from the .rom even if you made it happy with the appropriate lease/key) Anyway, no manual firmware upgrade should be necessary. Lets figure out why the reflashing doesn't work.
