Secure laptops (having the write protect set) will only boot into signed images (i.e. the likely signed version of 623 or 649 that you had) None of the joyride builds are signed.

This will enable you to get to the ok prompt in open firmware, which means you can boot into any image you want. - AlexL ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: boot failed after updating MP to joyride-357 (activation?)
One extra piece of info: Once you get a developers key, you should 'disable security' from the OK prompt. Then you can upgrade to any image. Here is a link to the wiki page with the process: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Guide_to_Secure_Install Kim On 04 Dec 2007 10:36:21 -0500, Alexander M.

No, I don't think I would recommend that in all cases. Having the developer key in /security is entirely equivalent, and lets you easily turn on and off 'insecure boot' (by moving or renaming the file) while you are developing, which is probably best if you are just a casual developer and want to be able to return to a stable build and give the machine to a kid to play with. With insecure boot, you don't get automatic firmware updates with build images, and you lose pretty boot. You can re-enable secure boot for a single boot only by turning on power with the 'X' key held down. Anyway, one should decide whether to permanently disable security on a case-by-case basis; I wouldn't make a blanket recommendation. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Booting the alternate image (pressing the 'O' button while powering on) worked fine. What did I wrong? Whatever it was, I had the same symptoms (on my never-as-far-as-I-know-locked B4). I worked around it by starting the OFW prompt and manually telling the machine to boot u:\boot\OLPC.FTH which then completed the upgrade process. Your mileage may vary. HTH, Mike -- Mike C.
