The manufacturing team found a critical firmware bug that exists in both Q2D05 and Q2D06. It can cause your machine to become a brick if the month register gets the value 0 in it (normally that register has values 1 through 12). See http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5391 for details.
Q2D05 and Q2D06 are hereby withdrawn in favor of Q2D07. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2d07 Q2D07 is exactly like Q2D06 with the addition of a fix for bug 5391. If you have either Q2D05 or Q2D06, you should upgrade to Q2D07. There is little danger of immediate failure, however. Once the RTC is set correctly (if your machine is working now, the RTC is okay), it won't go bad unless you remove the RTC battery or the RTC battery fails (unlikely for several years) or you go out of your way to invalidate the RTC value. My apologies for this egregious bug. Mitch Bradley _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
