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 (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 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.
