Hi Daniel,

first of all - thanks for your excellent work!

The XO-1.0 build does boot fine here. After installing the latest sugar 
package [1] I get quite good results. This is very promising. Yay!!!

The XO-1.5 build does not boot for me, I get the following after 
flashing the image:

Boot device: /wlan Argumenst:
Scan for: OLPCOFW not found
Scan for: school-mesh-0 not found
Scan for: school-mesh-1 not found
Scan for: school-mesh-2 not found
<buffer at ff83b080>:0:
Can't open boot device

Anyone else booted the XO-1.5 image already?
