Problem

The operating system does not run from an SD card in the external slot of an XO-1.

Proposed Solution

  • select an SD card of at least 4GB; the faster the better, but it will be erased by the process below,
  • select a USB drive of at least 1GB,
  • download 32014o0.zip (601 MB) and expand the contents onto the USB drive,
  • Shutdown the XO-1,
  • insert the USB drive and the SD card into the XO-1 using the appropriate sockets,
  • turn on the XO-1, and wait for the shell prompt:
root@box:~# _
  • start the install:
fs-update 32014o0.zd
  • the block number being written is displayed in hex, and starts at 0001, runs to 3772, and then resets to 0000,
  • wait between eight and 25 minutes, depending on the SD card performance, for completed, please reboot. and the shell prompt will return, like this:
root@box:~# fs-update 32014o0.zd
installing, please standby
0001 ... 3772 0000
completed, please reboot
root@box:~# _
  • remove the USB drive, power off, power on, wait for Sugar, verify version in My Settings, About my Computer.

Alternate Solution

  • download as above,
  • insert the USB drive and SD card into an XO-1.5, XO-1.75, or XO-4, but do not boot the laptop from the USB drive,
  • instead, at the Ok prompt, type
devalias fsdisk ext:0
fs-update u:\32014o0.zd
  • wait for the fs-update to complete,
  • remove the USB drive, insert into an XO-1, power on, wait for Sugar, verify version in My Settings, About my Computer.
