Problem

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

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 (585 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 at the appropriate sockets,
turn on the XO-1, and wait for the prompt:

root@box:~# _

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
root@box:~# _

remove the USB drive, power off, power on, wait for Sugar, verify version in My Settings, About my Computer.

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.
