 During startup, if /home/olpc directory is missing,  Update.1 (build 680)
 goes into a infinite rebooting loop. Also Unable to load Sugar.

 Workaround, during bootup Ctrl-Alt-F1 will show console window, able to
 login as root. If screen fills with error messages, hit C-A-F1 again. Type
 'init 3' to stop messages and rebooting process.  Then  fix problem by
 restoring the /home/olpc directory.

 Possible solution, check for existence of /home/olpc before writing or
 reading configuration files.  Restore to default settings at 1st boot.

 (reproducible)
