We would need to know if your XO is in developer mode or "locked down".

Huh ?  Were you running something other than the OLPC build ?

Shouldn't happen.   One possibility is that some XO-1's weren't as robust as they
should have, and many SD cards push the standard.   Try another card if possible,
or run some data tests of the SD card to test this.
