I tried it with no keys presed and it says

Boot Failed

Maybe I have a bad image?

Thanks Mitch,

Actually that report is with the check button held down.

i only realized recently that the final unfreeze of the screen
is not done in bootanim, as i expected, but by way of sugar installing
a g_idle callback that sends a message to ohmd to do the unfreeze.  so
if either sugar or ohmd don't start correctly, the screen will stay
frozen.  this doesn't seem optimal to me.  (and it may be that i have
it wrong, and there's another unfreeze mechanism as well.)

(when powerd replaces ohmd, it simply does the unfreeze after 10 seconds
have passed.  also sub-optimal.)

My XO Boots but gets stuck loading the initrd.

OFW Q2E34

Here is what I see on the screen

Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\olpc.fth Arguments:
Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\vmlinuz0 Arguments: root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2
liveimg console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 boot_delay=3 fbcon=font:SUN12x22
Loading ramdisk image from nand:\boot\initrd0.img

It stays there its been about 20 minutes now.

Any ideas?

I tried two different USB sticks to create the img.

Thanks

I also like this idea, but the people currently working on soas might
have too much on their hands already, so just waiting for them to
deliver might not be the best strategy.

Anyone would like to take this task and take care of making available
image files for every .iso release?

Not sure if it'll help, but you might try these suggestions:

1) login on VT 1 or 2 and stop X: sudo /sbin/initctl stop prefdm

...if this is enough, cool...but if not, you might consider

2) install compcache[1]

Just for the record, as I don't have access to a regular F10  
desktop**, I had a quick go trying to use these steps directly on an  
XO to create a .img and .crc to test with, but after several attempts  
I've been unsuccessful so far.

Existing OLPC 8.2 (767) build is missing various dependancies (not  
surprising as it's based on F9); cjb's F11 XO builds have everything  
needed, but the XO hardware seems to run out of ram part way through  
livecd-iso-to-xo script, locking things up and or restarting.

Wanted to mention this as it's a roadblock for folks with XOs to try  
and make their own installable image from the ongoing Soas work. The  
only images I've been able to boot on XOs so far are those from cjb.

words. Chris' script does exactly the right thing - it unpacks the
squashfs unto a jffs2. Perfecto.

Good that it works -- another option we can use. It's still an iso
with an overlay however, which won't be happy on jffs2 and has a nasty
memory footprint. Are there ways to unpack the squashfs in the iso
unto an image?

cheers,

I can probably have that done via a cron job on teach.laptop.org (running F9
currently) that scps the result to d.sl.o.

Glad to hear it works, I'm going to try it this weekend on my XO.
I wonder if we could get the release team to execute these steps
automatically for each release, and then make .img files available on
downloads.sugarlabs.org along with the .iso files?  That would skip a lot of
potential mistakes that users might make, and would lower the barrier to
entry (e.g. no Fedora or Ubuntu machine req).

The same goes for .vmdk files, I would love to have .vmdk files created
using
http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_VirtualBox/Preparing_a_disk_image
available
for each snapshot.

Regards,
Wade

I tried it (from Ubuntu instead of F10) and it seems to work
"flawlessly"!! I've documented what I did in the wiki:
