The usual reason for "can't get ok prompt" is because the machine is
secure. You need a developer key to get an ok prompt on a secure
machine.<br>
<br>
To get a developer key for a machine that cannot boot Sugar, you can
use this procedure:

Hi...

<div>Here's a copy of the note I sent to the S-G this afternoon
that is similar in many ways to the ones Swapma has been having
with her XO-1s.</div>

class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">I had
an interesting meeting this afternoon with the folks at
the Math-Science Resource centet at Montana State
University. They have a Contributors Program Project
where they will be working on science curriculum with
children on the Crow Reservation in eastern Montana. This
was my second trip to try to get their project XOs working
correctly and updated. Today we spent about 2 hours
trying to figure out what is happening with their XOs. It
is sort of fun! I feel like the "Dr House" of XOs!</span></font></p>

<p style="font: 12px Helvetica;"><font
class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span
class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">They
have one XO-1.5 (#1) , which is fine and has been updated
to os851. They have 10 XO-1s. One (#7) is all updated to
os 851and firmware Q2E44 and is working fine. One (#9) is
updated to os851, but the date is off... we can tell when
we run the Moon Activity. Numbers 2-6, 8,& 10 are all
BAD.... unhappy faces and messages on startup. They say
that they have os802 running with firmware Q2E41. I took
a photo of the "sad face" startup screen on one of them
(#6) and will attach it to this message.</span></font></p>

<p style="font: 12px Helvetica;"><font
class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span
class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">Our
plan was to update all of the XO-1s to Q2E44 for firmware
and os851 for software.</span></font></p>

</span></font></p>
<p style="font: 12px Helvetica;"><font
class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span
class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">We
thought the problem might be because the date is off,
especially since we noticed an "Invalid System Date"
message at the head of the "sad face" startup page.
However, since #9 works fine, except for the incorrect
date, that doesn't seem to be the problem. Nevertheless,
the dates do need to be corrected on most of the machines.</span></font></p>

<p style="font: 12px Helvetica;"><font
class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span
class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">We
tried accessing the "ok" prompt on startup by pressing the
escape key several times, but it wouldn't work for us...
on any of the machines we tried. We didn't try all
though. We intended to update the firmware through this
route.</span></font></p>

<p style="font: 12px Helvetica;"><font
class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span
class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;">I
downloaded all of the needed files for the firmware, os851
for both the XO-1 and XO-1.5 and put them, together with
half a dozen science Activities I downloaded for them all
into a file and last night I burned it onto a DVD. I
double checked all of the files (except the Science
Activities) by putting the DVD in Ed's Mac, taking the
files off the DVD, putting them on a usb stick and testing
it by reflashing a machine. All are good.</span></font></p>
