Thanks for the suggestions. I only did the updates on one of the machines. I wanted to make sure it worked before doing anything to the others ;-D I guess my first error was updating the firmware before fixing the date. Perhaps if I did that first it would work better. In fact the firmware might have taken care of itself.<div><br></div><div>I am in the midst of a tiling job in the kitchen of the house we have been working on for 12 summers, but later today will try this on one of them: (a) reset the clock, (b) update to an intermediate build, (c) update to the latest signed build. <div><br></div><div>Then, on the one that is hanging up on boot... perhaps I should try going back too? But since I already took the firmware to Q2E46 this might cause a problem with installing a build with an earlier firmware. What do you folks think?</div><div><br></div><div>I should mention some of the things that happen when I try to update without doing anything special... it keeps looking for a mesh network (there is none) and complains about the date being wrong. I can understand the date problem, but haven't a clue why it suddenly thinks there should be a mesh network.</div><div><br></div><div>Part of the discovery process looks for an internal hard drive, a usb hard drive, an sd hard drive and an wifi access point to help with booting: covering all known routes to boot.</div><div><br></div><div>Any and all suggestions will be welcome.

I'd love it if someone could send it.</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><a href="http://en.forum.laptop.org/chat/" style="font-size: 10pt; ">http://en.forum.laptop.org/chat/</a><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Which is usually me or Quozl :)</span><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Caryl<br><br><div><div id="yiv1018859353SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="yiv1018859353stopSpelling">From: greenfeld@laptop.org<br>Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2012 04:37:21 -0400<br>To: support-gang@lists.laptop.org<br>Subject: Re: [support-gang] Need Help!
