There seems to be a bug with loopback install where xdsl cant find loopback file upon reboot (after install). it reboots with default (live) settings each time...

Ive used xdsl 0.5 since yesterday and now when a turned on my xbox and started xdsl it says something about my superblock was damages and i had to fix it myself and then reboot by pressing ctrl - D.

After smoking a bong a thought the best ide was to install the version before xdsl 0.5 and this one works fine.

Before the 0.5 version a had the version that i have now, so when a starting now a can choose 3 loopback installs, but only the third (the one before 0.5) works..

I like xdsl like it is now but the thing on the deskop with the little ,,, yeah thoose where pretty cool

what do you mean by 3 options?

There are 3 "loopback install" options on the screen. The first is the old version of xdsl, the second is
the new version and the third is the old one, the one that im using now and thats the only one that works.

Edit: its like:

#loopback install
#loopback install
#loopback install

no other .. information? on the "options"

when ya do a loopback install, all ya have to do is copy "linux24" from the root of E into the knoppix folder, then your loopback install will boot....I just wish the mydsl apps (Java for instance) would install as easy as they do with frugal install...I have to use the "mydsl" button in emelFM everytime I reboot to get java to work....I tried apt-get for java to no avail...so everytime I wanna load up limewire, or go to yahoo games...I gotta do this. no biggie (im sure there is another way, but it isnt to bad like this

Great job with the new version! KEEP it up please!

I typed all this from a loopback install on 0.5.

Im getting "please mount optional" or something on shutdown and it doesnt like to shutdown, but other than that it works great

I switched from XDSL after I couldn't get Xebian to install successfully. It freezes during bootup right when it should prompt for a method of startup; CD, FATX, or Ethernet. I was quick to place the blame on my HDTV as it seemed to load fine on my other Xbox connected via composite to a 21" TV. The correct answer is that XDSL 0.5 hangs during boot if I either my mouse or Keyboard is connected. After I choose which boot method I am free to connect my USB devices.

As you can expect, this problem will be an inconvenience. Especially since I installed Win98, as per the PSPhacks tutorial, and have had to reboot a lot since it too hangs during the boot process. Could my USB devices be drawing too much memory?

The other problem I face is that HDTVs do not support the VOC and HOC corrective percentages used to fix the inability to protect against over scan. I did find this thread to help correct the problem using ssh but this procedure is relatively new to me.

As of right now, what I really would like fixed and or explained is the freeze during boot up of XDSL caused by the connectivity of USB devices.

Thanks,

this is an issue with kromwell ( the xbe used to launch linux ): he freeze when there are too much usb devices.
so every distribution has this problem.

Just been mucking around with this rls, good stuff. At least my usb camera works again now

However, I've found that this line in the fstab (I'm also using the cheatcode nofstab):
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat noauto,users,rw,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0
causes this error at startup:
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate block-major-8
umount: /mnt/camera: not mounted

It's trying to load the module for SCSI support (block-major-8) but failing. That's because there is no module - support is compiled directly into the kernel. Not sure exactly what's trying to load it though.

QUOTE

It's like it's trying to mount it at boot, but isn't noauto supposed to stop this?

Yes it should - I'm not sure why isn't in this case.

QUOTE

Also, I note that something at boot auto mounts hda55 to hda55. I'd like this to stop, but I'm guessing it's because of the swap file? Can I edit some file at least to get it to mount to /mnt/xbox-f?

Are you also booting from hda55 or is the swap file on it's own partition? If it's on it's own partition you should be able to just edit /etc/fstab if you want a different mount point for F.

I found out how to make it work. Thanks

I've got another question, what's the best Linux to use on the XBOX?

?? Something that's easy and stuff.

I Think X-DSL 0.5 is very quick easy to use and fast. On the other hand I have major problems to change the keyboard layout to finnish (or swedish). Despite the linuxboot.cfg add "lang=fi" this does not do the trick. On system information app System says on the hardware tab finnish locales etc, but I think X11 is not effected.
How to make this keymap change?

I have a problem with XDSL v0.5

Before I upgraded my HDD i could attach my USB HDD/DVD-+RW DL now instead of sda/sda1 it displays sda1, sda2, sda3 & sda4 none of which mount at all.
I have 2 Xboxs with the same EEPROM 1 TSOP & 1 Softmod Both HDDs are Locked I swapped HDDs the small one works just fine. If someone can help with a fix I would be very grateful.
