Re: New SoaS build soas68

[Mikus Grinbergs]

Did copy-nand of soas68xo.img to my XO-1.  Tried to boot.  No X.

The initial boot gets as far as a screen with a "plaza pavement" 
background and a login window in the center saying "Automatically 
logging in ...".  Nothing more happens (I waited an hour, just in 
case it was installing Activities, or something).  [I can select 
"Language" and "Keyboard" - but that doesn't help.]

X is stuck.  [Nothing that looks wrong in /var/log.]

I can get into a text console (alt-ctl-F2) -- but for me. trying to 
run from soas68xo.img on an XO-1 is a failure.

Thanks for the report.

gpm autologin was broken in rawhide; it's now fixed.  If you do
something like:

 yum -y install gpm --nogpgcheck

...it should fix it.

I'm making a new build now as I've tweaked how SUGAR_SCALING gets set.
