I have tweaked a little the official "install-ppc64-minimal-2006.1.iso" gentoo iso so it work on the 360. This livecd is a minimal one, no x-server and you still need a serial adapter (could change soon since it use the readcd binary from felix, if someone manage to put this in a modded shader). I'm still working on some more cool stuff actually.
The ftp where the file is hosted allow 50 users so if you can make some mirrors ..
You will find more info on the free60.org website.
ftp://linux360:[email protected]/
http://www.free60.org/
Here is the readme :
CODE
gentoo-xenon-minimal-2006.1
***************************
This is a liveCD for Linux on the Xbox 360. It is based on the official gentoo
minimal installer named install-ppc64-minimal-2006.1.iso with a few changes to
boot on the Xbox 360 (codename xenon).
Currently, Samsung drives aren't supported, but it will work if you can load the
enable0800 ISO just before loading the cdreader binary via serial.
How does it work ?
==================
Burn gentoo-xenon-minimal-2006.1.iso.
Upload the cdreader binary via serial, this will open the xbox dvd drive.
Put the gentoo-xenon-minimal-2006.1 CD in the drive.
cdreader will automatically start the xell bootloader located at lba 0x20 on
this cd and boot the Linux Kernel.
Where to find more info on Linux for Xbox 360 :
===============================================
http://www.free60.org/
Free60 is a project towards porting GNU/Linux, BSD, Darwin and related
open-source operating systems to the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console.
Thanks to :
===========
- Felix alias tmbinc, coded the cdreader binary and xell bootloader, without him,
nothing would be possible.
- Stonersmurf, did the ISO mastering and gave his help and support on a lot of
things, many thanks to him.
- The free60.org team.
Cheers,
Cpasjuste.

i am connected via serial
i am using the original (crwl360) patched kk disc
dvd drive is flashed w/ 5.2 xtreme
when i receive the "xe" prompt i insert the enable0800.iso cd...the drive goes in to mode b...makes the ticking noise
i send the readcd.bin file...it sends ok..but the code is not executed
i have to send the original (crwl360) hello.bin file and then the readcd code is exectuded
the kernel loads and then hangs @ the second ata1 line...is it looking for a hdd? (duh..i just thought of that..guess ill connect a sata drive)

Are you sure that that isn't just for hacking the beast via serial? This new exploit's nfo mentions nothing about different drives. It simply says (paraphrase) burn it, it ejects, stick in the live cd.

I'm have the EXACT same problem. The only difference is that I inserted the enable-0800 disc before kingkong.
Edit: And I have A orginal HDD connected. I've also tried sending xell directly, but the result is same. Next thing would be to unconnect the dvd after xell is loaded and use tftp.

Of course that would mean that they should perhaps better stay away from XBOX

Reprogrammed with willem programmer back to xtreme 1, xtreme 2 and the latest without the need for a enable800 disc but sadly i just get a black screen.
Did i f**k up or is this normal ?
What needs to be altered to bring the samsung the state it can read the Livecd ?
Post by: Cpas on March 30, 2007, 11:27:00 AM
Can you load games with the xtrem 1 or 2 (to be sure that the flash is correct) ?
Ps : Like tmbinc said, i forget to include the X at the end of the readcd binary :x, so "echo "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" >> ./readcd.bin" should make the work.

I still have the penguins at the top of the screen. It then sits there then after 5-10 mins not actually timed it to be honest then the screen goes black....
Not sure why i dont seem to be able to fully boot it unless im totally missing something.

k0mpresd, can you try to send the xell binary instead the cdreader to see if your sammy drive work. I hope i didnt made a mistake, someone said me it work with enable 0800 and xell.
this did not work either
it still hangs in the same spot
it might be worth mentioning that i only leave the enable0800 cd in just until i hear the mode b "ticking" then i send the xell_rom.bin (from your site cpas
) and insert the gentoo cd @ the same timeif i leave the 0800 cd in for too long the system crashes and the xell loader isnt executed of course
will you please post or pm me the link to the xell loader w/ the delay for the enable0800? you posted it for warp on xboxhacker but neither one of my home computers will connect to the site ?
edit: i got it to work
but will you still please send me the delayed xell? the time it takes the drive to go in to mode b is about the exact same time the box takes to crash
Post by: Cpas on March 30, 2007, 12:07:00 PM
You have not read a lot, there is no desktop on the minimal live cd. When you get the message its done loading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I think you are using a compenant cable, and we forget to say that there is no fullscreen with component output so some part of the screen are missing. If you have a vga cable use it you will see the command prompt.
@k0mpresd, sorry but you do it the right way, its my mistake someone said me that it was working but this person must have forgot to say that it hang. I think for now we need to wait XBHpringle answer to see how it goes with a firmware that dont have the firmguard, or wait c4eva to make a compatible firmware.

i'm thinking about making a hardware switch for 2 different flashes,
flash nr.1 with a xtreme firmware to load the KK disc
flash nr.2 with a 0800 firmware to load the Livecd
In other words... removing a part from the xtreme firmware and switching to nr.2 just before the tray is popped to load the Livecd.
Who knows maybe it works
Or.. using two drives and use a simple SATA switch to switch between te xtreme and 0800 drive.
OOO fun things to do
Will post results this afternoon or night.. i'm kinda fckd from some btch aching my head

put a 0800 enable disc and live cd on 1 disc.
the drive reads a certain sector and if that sector has a certain code it turns to 0800 mode.
why not just make the live cd and patch it so it is also an unlock disc.
(hope the sectors dont cross)
Do you think it is possible???

Kernal: 4532
ODD: Hitachi 47dj + xtreme 2.2
Works perfect. Really interesting stuff. I got the linux kernal to boot with the modified king kong iso + shader.bin. And from what i'm reading above this minimal version does include a GUI. I'm not good with linux but I just plugged in my USB keyboard and tried punching in commands but just kept getting bad command. Keyboard works perfect! The screenshots of Linux of the 360 are displaying it with the GUI so is there any way I could add it to the live cd?

Yeah, as burgerbee was pointing out, I think most of us are running Ubuntu now instead, at least I am. Running it off the HDD beats a Live disc any day
Also the minimal doesn't have a desktop and requires a serial port to use, so a lil dated now that we can do it all from disc.
