Hello everyone, I was able to make my own kernel 4.15 for the XO-1 in order to boot SoaS Fedora 26 on the XO-1. Here is how I did it. I would like help fixing the bugs.
Instructions -------------------------------------- the xo needs to be unlocked with dev key AND update firmware to latest version otherwise new kernel doesn't boot! download soas i386 iso Fedora-SoaS-Live-i386-26-1.5 from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/26/Spins/i386/iso/ put soas i386 iso in vmware connect 4gb+ usb drive to it and share in vmware give yourself a name, color, grade open terminal, run sudo liveinst select sdb1 as device go to custom partitioning delete all partitions create "/" as standard, ext2! not ext3 or ext4 set / type to standard not lvm! change / partition label to "SoaS" EXACTLY click update settings click done multiple times, accept changes click begin installation click root password. type olpc for root password, click done twice make user olpc with admin, password also olpc (for compatibliity with old activities), click done twice when installer done (note: it will say 100% for a long time): close installer reboot vm by clicking reboot on xo guy. NOT by closing window run in terminal cd /run/media/liveuser/SoaS curl -Lo /tmp/a.zip parrotgeek.com/downloads/xofix.zip sudo unzip /tmp/a.zip sudo cp boot/initramfs*i686.img boot/xoinitrd.img note: the kernel in xofix.zip is from: https://github.com/parrotgeek1/linuxXO SHUT DOWN the vm by clicking shut down on xo guy. NOT by closing window do NOT reboot from the USB on a computer other than XO! then plug the usb into xo and boot! it should work ---------------------------- Critical Bugs: !!! When Xorg starts there is a weird LCD fade effect like DCON hardware is being initialized wrong 5+ minute boot time due to firewalld, sssd failing to start. After login, XO sits for a very long time at only a mouse cursor, with the mic light on Screen is not scaled to 200 DPI. Attempts to copy xorg.conf from an XO image resulted in Xorg not starting. Also, Xorg is using fbdev not geode. no wifi (Need firmware. Also no kernel modules are loading) Impossible to open frame with mouse unless change corner size to 5px, maybe dpi issue? Rotate button doesn't work (maybe because it isn't using geode driver) Power management does not work at all. Disk and Wifi lights don't work. webcam does not work (No modules are loading) On keyboard, the increasing size dots, and 2 boxes overlapping keys do not work Brightness keys work but super slow to change brightness it doesn't see the nand (driver loads but fail to init) /ofw not mounted Cosmetic bugs: Not asked for name at first boot, instead it is "olpc" Login screen shows instead of auto login [SoaS bug] Loading mouse cursor is the gnome one not xo one Hostname is localhost not like xo-4b-e0-31 Sudo needs a password [VTE bug] "777 notify command completed" in terminal No splash screen or shutdown screen Need to decrease activity launch animation rate like xo official image does It shows "Log out" in xo menu Ctrl+Alt+F1...F5 don't work Ctrl+Alt+Backspace don't work. It can be re-enabled by setting the DontZap xorg.conf option to False OLPC specific tools missing Probably other things I haven't thought of Good luck, Ethan Nelson-Moore
