I've given up on Version 0.3.0. I've tried numerous re-installs and no matter what, it will always crash at one point or another. I've looked at the mail listings for help on
http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ and none of the workarounds worked for me.
There was one person who reported he got it working if you installed version 0.1.0 and then installed version 0.3.0 over the previous install WITHOUT removing the old 0.1.0 files on the E: partition of your Xbox. I tried this and after a very long install, it seemed to work. My xbox would no longer crash when I tried to download something using apt-get. So, being the KDE fan that I am, I then tried downloading KDE using tdfsu's guide and using that as my primary windowsmanager. On my first-time boot with KDE, it worked for about five minutes but then crashed abruptly and after that it wouldn't even boot anymore. It gave me a lot of really weird error reports and would just sit there. I couldn't enter anything into the command prompt and it wouldn't boot KDE either.
So I gave up on 0.3.0, knowing that I had tried everything to no avail, reinstalled 0.1.0 instead and everything works as it should, but of course without all the nice features that 0.3.0 has such as xpad support, fatx support and the overscan fix.
Is it possible to install the xpad and fatx patches manually? I've looked at the CVS tree but I think they require patching of the kernel in order to work. I've tried a few things but couldn't get the patches to install manually.
I just hope that Ed is aware of the instability problems with 0.3.0 and can fix them for a future version because from what little I've seen of it, it really looked awesome. It seemed a lot faster than 0.1.0 and it had a lot of nice features included. It's just unusable for me (and a lot of others judging from the message boards here and the mail listings) because it's very unstable and crashes at regular intervals.
