Title: Rebooting Problem
Post by: djdoug on March 02, 2006, 04:47:00 AM

Hey there.. I was running evox for a while and made the change to make XBMC my main dash, must say I should of done it eariler.

But... when I'm in a game and do the in game reset using the controller.... it reboots, shows the xbox screen then trys to loads then reboots again... adn all it good

any idea why its rebooting twice? is there a setting I need to change or something?

And I'm not sure what bios, or chip (it is chipped) I am running as it came up uknown in evox

THanks in advance

does the xbox actually reboots (led turns off and comes back on) or does the xbox X screen just popups up twice?

Yeah...

Rebooting using the reboot option on any program.. works fine...

but once in a app or game.. using the button config to reboot....

Led is as normal as far as I can see

you see the xbox screen... once... then when it looks like its about to load it reboots then.. shows the screen again.. then loads fine...

quite wierd.

didn't have a problem with EVOX at all, It must be something simple I'm missing....

I have the same problem with both of my xboxs. While running a game under XBMC (using evox m8 plus bios, edited in evtool) and I IGR, the Xbox screen splashes twice then XBMC loads. My xbox is also kernal version 1.0.5838.1 and evox dash reads the bios as unknown.

But when running Evox dash in IND-Bios 5003, IGR works fine.

When I IGR in xbmc with IND-Bios 5003 or EvoX M8 Plus, the X screen (or ind screen) would splash twice before returning to xbmc. But when I IGR in Evox with IND-Bios 5003 or EvoX M8 Plus, Evox would load fine. So its not the bios causing the problem.

have you tested any other app/dash (UnleashX, Avalaunch, etc)? Evox has its own IGR feature, which over-rides anything you have going on with your BIOS, and thus it's not very helpful in diagnosing problems with your BIOS.

What does evo-x have todo with it?!

In his first post he/she states that xbmc is used as a dash, so how can evo-x´s software igr come into the picture?

I think what he means is...

as 2 of us.. had evox as our main dash's that worked with igr Perfectlly...

but now we have changed... it is doing this.... and it sounds like evox overrights the bios igr.

And other dashs seem to do the same wierd thing..

yes, Evox imposes its own IGR behavior on the host system, over-riding the BIOS's build-in IGR behavior (if any), which is why you have not seen the "weird" behavior until now. if you are using IND-BIOS 5003, doesn't that BIOS have a live config? if it does, are you using that? i haven't used that one in a really long time so i do not remember much about it...

Evo-x have SOFTWARE igr.

When evo-x is not used (as xbmc is the dash) it cant alter the BIOS igr.

So unless you first start evo-x and then XBMC please drop it as it has nothing todo with xbmc or igr functions...
