It is a *very* high risk to use your own flash image.

DO NOT BUILD YOUR OWN ROM IMAGE AND REFLASH THE OLPC BOARD!!!!  Building
it is very sensitive to the compiler/toolchain used.

PLEASE, PLEASE: *ONLY* use the Fedora based image we sent information
about to the mailing list for reflashing the BIOS: it has been tested,
and avoids those toolchain problems.  This is true for everyone, not
just you, no matter what Linux version anyone is using.

For the moment, please just continue using the Insyde BIOS; it is a
minor annoyance to set the time back.  We are working on resolving a
hardware related problem with LinuxBIOS.
