Hey Sean, FWIW I have successfully booted my XO-1 from SoaS-1 using an older image, I haven't tried the latest. I used LiveUSB Creator for Windows with a PATRIOT 2GB stick. What you might be seeing is that you have a SD card with a bootable partition on your XO. I think that might take priority over booting from USB. You can boot manually from OFW.. something like ok boot u:\boot\olpc.fth should locate 'boot\olpc.fth' on the USB key and start it manually. -Wade <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Sean DALY <<a href="http://sdaly.be">sdaly.be</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused here, is it possible or not at this time to boot an XO-1 from a SoaS image (as we claim on the wiki: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC</a>)? if so, how? since the instructions for Option 1 on the wiki page are not working for me. I see there is a new SoaS-2 image in there, again, I don't think we should be recommending to G1G1 owners they use that one yet? As I say, I have doubts about the SoaS-1 and SoaS-2 sticks I am using, it appears the XO can't find anything to boot with on these sticks while my Acer Aspire One boots up with both (?) I suppose there's no way to boot manually from a stick from OFW? thanks Sean <div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 4:00 PM, Dave Bauer <<a href="mailto:dave.bauer@gmail.com">dave.bauer@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > I am having a more fundamental issue. > > 1) First I used liveusb-creator on windows with Soas1 and created the crc > and img files to install to the NAND.
