[Testing] FW: Security certificate not yet valid error in XO-1.0

[James Cameron]

Robin!

Resolving this complex problem will require many back and forth tests.

Please contact us on IRC channel #olpc-help on freenode.net, by visiting
http://webchat.freenode.net/ and enter channels name of #olpc-help.

If you cannot do that, then it will take several back and forth mails,
and perhaps many needless questions.

On the assumption that you cannot use IRC, here are the questions I
have:

1.  what is the serial number of this laptop?  You will find that
underneath the battery in the centre of the compartment.

2.  what version of OpenFirmware is currently installed?  Instructions
for finding that can be found in the section "Which Firmware Do You
Have?" on the Wiki page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e45#Which_Firmware_Do_You_Have.3F

3.  is the laptop secured?  The laptop is secured if you cannot reach
the ok prompt after trying all available methods.  Instructions for
reaching the ok prompt can be found on the Wiki page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ok

4.  if the answer to question 3 above is "yes", and the answer to
question 2 above is less than Q2E41 or unknown, then please upgrade to
Q2E41 using the instructions in the section "Using a USB flash drive and
another computer" on the Wiki page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware#Using_a_USB_flash_drive_and_another_computer

Report back with your progress on these questions.  Thanks.
