 WARNING:  The file said highest block 15911 but wrote only as high as block

 Same here, I've tried to download it twice and flash 31019o4.zd on to two 
 different XO-4 each time with the same error.
 
 But apart from this message the new installation works as normal, right?

Yes it does boot, though the WARNING message doesn't instil much confidence 
that everything that should be there, is. I'm away from a high bandwidth 
connection for the rest of the week (traveling tomorrow), so I hope this os19 
install holds up enough for me to continue testing, I'm taking a fallback copy 
of os18 just in case ;)

 XO-4 now has HDMI support in Linux (#12350).


Once of the perks of having an AV contractor in the house is that it wasn't
hard to dig up the proper HDMI adaptor.  Still mostly the same issue as
build 18 as noted in #12350, but under build 19 there's no HDMI output at
all after entering boot instead of the TV hanging on the OFW screen while
the XO boots.

I tried both 720p and 1080p.

i can't tell if you're not getting signal at all, or just in OFW.

if the former, and you're using a B1 unit (and i assume you are), then
there's a good chance that the cable isn't making contact properly. 
the jack is mounted just a little too far back from the edge of the
motherboard, and so too far from the outside of the laptop.  it's only
off by a millimeter or so -- if you don't mind trimming just a bit of
the rubber encapsulation from around the metal part of the micro-hdmi
plug, it should help.   (fixed on C1 units)

if the latter, and you have signal in OFW but not linux, be sure your
upgrade to q7b09 was successful.  linux hdmi won't work without it.

the connection is fine.

Yes, the firmware upgrade to q7b09 was successful.  I just doublechecked it

This will always happen as the clocks get reset and the signal needs to be
resynced.

Not necessarily.  There are many pins associated with hdmi.  You may be
able to generate a signal that works, but the linux connection relies on
being able to read the EDID information from the television as well.
 Without logs we can only guess what is going on.



 if the latter, and you have signal in OFW but not linux, be sure your
 upgrade to q7b09 was successful.  linux hdmi won't work without it.

The B1's have flaky hdmi connectivity at best.  Not only were there jack
location problems that needed to be addressed, but they were susceptible to
ESD causing a failure in the hot-plug detection circuit.  These are both
reasons why HDMI would fail to work  under Linux.

Oh, cool!  So it's just a problem with my stuff, then.  Sameer, do you have
a B1 or a C1?

Also, I just unplugged and then reinserted the HDMI.  Here's what dmesg had
to say about that:

[ 1315.785220] hdmi_hpd_handler
[ 1316.108451] hdmi_hpd_handler
[ 1316.559958] hdmi_hpd_handler

[ 1316.922154] hdmi_hpd_handler
[ 1316.987577] hdmi_hpd_handler
[ 1317.980952] work_launch
[ 1317.982137]  hdmi_hpd_work state 4000 hdmi_state 0

If this is looking like an unsolvable issue with the B1, let those of us
with those boards know so we don't continue with exercises in futility.

Hot plug detection is working, but all those handlers means there is
significant jitter in the connection.  hdmi_state 0 means that no stable
connection could be detected, so linux won't even setup the connection.

You may have better luck by cutting a mm or two off from the end of the
micro-hdmi connector's jacket.  This will allow the connector to plug in
further and possibly make a stable connection.

I found a single edge razor blade in a paint scraper handle and shaved off
just a little bit of the jacket.  And now it works!

So I've learned my lesson that just because the HDMI appears to work under
OFW, it won't necessarily work under Linux.  And that the HDMI connector on
the B1 board really, truly is set in there weird even if it seems like an
unaltered adaptor appears to fit at first.

Thanks for all the help.  And thanks to Daniel Drake for fixing this in the
new build.
