Hello all,

I'm new here.

This thing trigger me, it already took me a long time to figure out how to format my xbox hd (10gb 7 partitions) with this distro, i finally made it but i had to prepare the hd with a XDebian distro..

 

Then, i managed somehow to install the mandriva on the xbox but i cannot figure out how booting this instal

This Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-XBOX-Mini.xbox.iso come along with a Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-XBOX-boot.xbox.iso

 

( ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors1/ftp.mandrake-l.../iso/10.2/i586/ )

 

Readme.txt from the boot disc:

 

Mandriva Linux LE2005 XBOX boot.iso

Apr. 22, 2005 Stew Benedict <sbenedict@mandriva.com>

 

This iso should be bootable on a modded XBOX console, allowing one

to use the standard Mandriva Linux LE2005 isos or network install

to install the distribution on the XBOX.

 

See the XBOX dir for a kernel and initrd to boot the system, as well as

an xromell executable (from the cromwell rpm).

 

See: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MdkXbox and

http://www.xbox-linux.org for more info.

 

 

linuxboot.cfg:

 

# entries below based on kernel/initrd being in E:\mandrake

# linuxboot.cfg should be in E:\

# xromwell.xbe could be anywhere your dashboard can find it

# root= entries are examples, edit for your setup

 

title LE2005-ide

kernel /mandrake/vmlinuz-2.6.11-6mdkxbox

initrd /mandrake/initrd-2.6.11-6mdkxbox.img.ide

append root=/dev/hda3

 

title LE2005-usb

kernel /mandrake/vmlinuz-2.6.11-6mdkxbox

initrd /mandrake/initrd-2.6.11-6mdkxbox.img.usb

append root=/dev/sda3

 

default LE2005-ide

 

 

 

My Mandriva is intalled on the E drive but i'm stuck here, i really don t konw how to edit this configuuration file to make it booting this mandriva..

 

Any help would be appreciated
