Which distro Might be helpful. I'm working on porting chimps tools to xdsl which allows a second hdd to be replace by the dvd rom..

maybe it's not getting enough power?

1st hdd is jmpered to master.
2nd hdd is jmpered to slave.

dmesg only shows hda.

another native gentoo user...nice one!

hmmm, its never been near an xbox before this so i don't think it's locked. I even used the cromwell unlock function (I've pretty much tried everything).

This is what i see from dmesg....

well, seems like my xbox does not like that western digital HDD, I just cant get it to spin up off the xbox PSU. Like I said earlier worked like a dream when i wired it to my PC PSU. Any ideas why it won`t work (and other HDDs will) - do some HDDs draw more power than others?

britishseapower · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2005, 10:30:00 AM »

its a power problem...for some reason my xbox psu isnt given the 2nd hdd enough power to be recognised at boot time...wierdness.
