The problem is that earlier versions had a separate partition on the 
built-in nand where the olpc.fth script (used by OFW) resided.  That 
partition was defined by the running operating system as _block_ device 
mmcblk1p1 (on raw device /dev/mmcblk1 - and was mounted (or could be 
manually mounted) to /bootpart.

With 12.1.0 builds, the running system does NOT see any raw device 
/dev/mmcblk1 (nor any block partition on that device).  It does see 
several raw _character_ devices /dev/mtdx, but I don't know how to 
access the corresponding partitions (assuming that's what they are).

One bypass would be to boot with an USB stick plugged in to the XO-1, 
which provides a /boot directory with the appropriate olpc.fth in it.

Another bypass (which I haven't had time to explore) would be to boot 
the XO-1 from an USB stick which has an older system version on it, then 
update the XO-1 nand when mounted within THAT operating system.

[By the way, I have not found instructions on how to use the 'tree.
tar.lzma' file to fashion an XO bootable (self-contained) USB stick.]


----
Please (I'm trying to ask nicely!), can you all tell me what I need to 
tweak to make "customizing the olpc.fth" (plus run 'rpm -U kernel...') 
be effective on 12.1.0.  [ I know how to make them work on 11.3.0. ]


Thanks,  mikus
