have you tried using unetbootin to make bootable usb drive, then rename vmlinux to xenon.elf

Oke just tried what you said but it didnt work, ive formatted the usb drive to fat16 or does it need to have another file system.

dont try, the 360 linux kernel crashes under heavy usb load, probably it wouldn't get as far as booting up

Here's how I got it to boot linux off of a usb stick. I configured my network to allow Xell to load the Gentoo minimal kernel from tftp and formatted a usb stick to look like a cd to the linux kernel. (basically dd if=gentoo-image.iso of=/dev/sda). I imagine one could also partition the usb stick to have a small fat32 partition containing the kernel and have the second partition be the raw cd image (dd if=gentoo-image.iso of=/dev/sda would become dd if=gentoo-image.iso of=/dev/sda2 presuming /dev/sda1 is your fat partition).
Anyway, this is how I managed to boot the gentoo live cd a while ago but the real solution would just be to build a kernel capable of looking for it's rootfs on the usb device so one could have a proper install instead of an emulated livecd.
