I've had tons of problems with this Xbox, as described in several threads in different forums.  This is the situation I find myself with now:  I have a chipped v1.1 XBox (Xecuter 2.6CE).  This chip won't seem to load any hacked BIOSes.  Cromwell boots, so does Gentoox Loader.  However, I really want to use this to load a dashboard/FTP capability, etc.  My question is, is there any way to trick a Linux BIOS into running a hacked .xbe, such as for XBMC or EvoX?  I was hoping that Gentoox Loader looks for a .xbe named a certain thing to load Linux, then I was hoping to rename the XBMC file to be the same name, and trick it into loading that instead.  However, I don't have too much knowledge about BIOSes, specifically Linux ones, and am not sure if this is at all possible.

Also, I've been told that SmartXX OS and Xenium OS will run on a box with this problem, but I'm not sure if it's possible to run those on an Xecuter 2.6CE.  Does anyone know how it could work?

Thanks for your patience, I'm just trying to struggle toward getting this thing working, and it's really tough to do without a hacked BIOS to load.

nope. try putting in a game, cromwell and other linux based bios's wont even boot signed .xbe's.

What is it that the Linux BIOSes are not loading that the other ones are trying to?  The Linux ones boot without a single problem and allow me to do whatever there is available, but the hacked BIOSes all freeze at the same point.  What am I missing here?
