We also do a special trick in the signed building process to patch the firmware so that the error doesn't appear when it otherwise would have. This also applies for users using the 4-game-key flash method. So the number of users seeing the strange error will be really limited. James, here's the magic code we insert in the zsp file, would you mind checking if its still correct? I think you made some changes in this area after Mitch suggested it. [ifndef] #eblocks-written : pdup ( n -- n' ) dup last-eblock# max ; also nand-commands patch pdup dup zblock: previous [then] This hit us at Quanta yesterday, 'cause it broke fs-verify on XO-1.75, workaround was to remove the lines from the .zsp file before using it with fs-verify. Current firmware versions don't have last-eblock#, yet they don't have #eblocks-written either.

I think the error message is resolved in the firmware update.

Re: 11.2.0 development build 19 released
The visual representation is nice ??? I myself (and perhaps others) am used to the entire matrix being visually filled with green. [It already was a shock on the XO-1 when with F14 some blue intruded upon the first couple green lines.] Now the green leaves glaring gaps. The user is being forced to TRUST that such gaps will not affect the running of the installed system. NOT a reassuring visual presentation. mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: 11.2.0 development build 19 released
Well, this is not for end users, and the system show a message at the end with the result. The message is corrected whit the new firmware.
