<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have an XO-1 that has stopped booting correctly after I
tried to install some large activities from a flash drive. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I cannot make a clean install because it has firmware
security enabled and I am unable to interrupt the boot without the developer
key, which I don’t have. I can’t create one because it
doesn’t boot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On boot, the normal screen is an XO symbol, which then spins
360 degrees tracing out a circle of dots. On this one, it slows and crawls to a
stop before completing the circle. If I leave it running it gets to a state
where a white screen flashes up (as if Sugar is beginning to start) then
flashes off and the command lines etc are seen....eventually it says it is
disabling for minutes due to “respawning too fast” and I have
a window when I can log onto the back end / shell as root and type commands. But
not sure what to do! <o:p></o:p></p>
