ok. It was my fault. Thank you to stop me to flash back to old firmware. I 
near to do so until I see your advise on time :)

Now new firmware can boot my slak13.37_OLPC w/o problems.

BTW: I forget to say after boot it will has:

login: sss
password: love4linux

If not work (unrecommend)
login: root
password: love4linux

then run:

startx

supat

ps. I will busy for several days on my work shop in BKK.
I will come back to test new OLPC kernel with audio and wlan later.
