Yes.  See ticket http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5719 for the outstanding 
bug.  The easiest fix will be to reflash your system per the directions 
on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activated_Upgrade - 653 seems to work for 
me.  Or you can follow the (more involved) directions on the ticket to 
recover your system without a complete reflash.
