Comment (by gnu):

 I replaced the SDHC card with an SD card (empty except for the autoinstall
 stuff).  Power cycled.  Got a very strange result.  It noticed that no
 reflashing was needed, then booted Linux.  Linux screen is all black
 except for four and a fraction lines of text, about four lines down from
 the top:

 {{{
 [    16.063634] input: OLPC PM as /class/input/input0
 [        ...    input: OLPC lid switch as /class/input/input1
 [         ...   input: OLPC ebook switch as /class/input/input2
 [    16.065601] SCI is mapped to IRQ 3
 }}}
 then the top few pixels of the next line -- unreadable.

 Power cycled and tried again.

 This time the kernel boots, says `mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD    196044KiB
     mmcblk0: p1
 JFFS2 notice ....[long msg]`
 then system hangs.

 Power cycled, tried again.  Boots kernel,  same mmcblk messages.  Then
 JFFS2 notice.  Then says
 unmounting root (take a long time).  Then "Could not activate this XO.
 Serial number SHF000000000".

 I think we have too many bugs here to be able to figure out what's really
 going on.
