Hi,
Hi Daniel,
first of all - thanks for your excellent work!
After seeing the community help significantly with F11-on-XO development, I'm wondering if we can do something similar for a future release. So, I've taken the first few steps in getting OLPC's technologies rebased on Fedora 14 and Linux v2.6.35.
The result has lots of problems, but I figure that publishing the work so far is the first step in getting things fixed.
Things are in such an early stage that I'm labelling this as a developers-only release. To name a few: Sugar crashes all the time, the XO-1.5 camera doesn't work, there are some funky graphics bugs on XO-1, no power management, DCON doesn't work right on either laptop, desktop switching lands you at a blank screen.
For now, please don't file bugs unless you include patches. And, to take 1 bite at a time out of this huge task, lets ignore all but the biggest sugar issues for now because there is plenty of OS work to be done first. (or alternatively lets take sugar issues directly to SL trac)
And the links: 2.6.35 kernel is in git://dev.laptop.org/olpc-2.6 branch olpc-2.6.35 OS build is done from 'f14' branch of olpc-os-builder First released images are at http://build.laptop.org/F14/os1/ Trac is at http://dev.laptop.org/milestone/F14 (basically my immediate TODO), please don't file tickets unless you include patches in these early days
Note: I haven't tested those exact images (since Chris @ OLPC built them), so boot-testing them can be the first task for someone. I have been working from the same codebases making local images successfully, so they will probably work (to the extent that things are working).
The XO-1.0 build does boot fine here. After installing the latest sugar package [1] I get quite good results. This is very promising. Yay!!!
The XO-1.5 build does not boot for me, I get the following after flashing the image:
Boot device: /wlan Argumenst: Scan for: OLPCOFW not found Scan for: school-mesh-0 not found Scan for: school-mesh-1 not found Scan for: school-mesh-2 not found buffer@ff83b080:0: Can't open boot device
Anyone else booted the XO-1.5 image already?
