Connected cable in XO to serial adapter, connected to extra computer.... # ./forth spiflash.dic ok line /dev/ttyUSB0 ok flash q2e41.rom when in the serial console, i tryed to flash with the q2e41.rom file that is published in the olpc wiki, and it gives this error ok flash q2e41.rom Image file is the wrong length I dowloaded the q2e18.rom file from the OLPC wiki and starts fine: ok flash q2e18.rom Checking Integrity.. and it stays there for a long time.. more than the 17 min.. close to half an hour and counting any thoughts? How can I tell if something is being writen to the flash? How can I tell if the machine has something (good or bad ) in the flash? thanks a lot for the help so far.. i hope to continue fixing this sort of problems cheers..
