No the xbe is just a plain old xbe...  The font file does all the magic!  Specifically the very end of the ernie.xtf....

just wanted to add in my thoughts, may they be idiotic and completely wrong, or helpful, no flames please.  If the xtf file contains some executable code in binary format to run default.xbe (linux bootloader) and we just disassemble that code to see what its doing and change it to run somethign other than linux?  Or am i just completely off the ball here?

As stated it's pretty set in stone right now that you would have to edit/rehash the existing kernal to be able to do other activities aside from loading linux... as we can only assume that the way this file is structured... it's being designed off the current kernal (thus why it wins the lunix competition... purposely misepelled)

But an encouraging idea nonetheless. Why not give it a try?

i just opened the st.db file from the audio exploit and it has a reference to  e:linux.xbe
i also noticed that the default.xbe and linux.xbe are the same.
so both the font files and the st.db tell the xbox to load linux.xbe or default.xbe.
both of these arent signed so how do they run?  games should run too.
has anyone tried booting d:default.xbe? then if it has anything to do with signatures then the backups wont run and originals will.
also
what if we modified the default.xbe linux loader into an app loader like !complex as this will patch the kernel for us allowing us to boot homebrew.

default.xbe and linux.xbe are not the same... Well ofcourse they are the same program but they dont have the same RSA digital signature.

Check them with xbedump and yall see. Or I may be wrong here in what you ment...
