Good news we got the final issues resolved.  You can find a new build for the 
XO-1 here.  http://people.sugarlabs.org/~smparrish/

You need to place the os12.crc and os12.img files on a USB stick.  You will 
need unlocked XO's to use these builds.  Go into OFW and at the OK prompt 
issue the following command.  copy-nand u:\os12.img   when the copy is 
completed just reboot and you will be running the new image.

Any questions just ask.  I am usually hanging out in #sugar
