after magic reboot it says its updateing the kernel.. but all steps after that fail?

ok really fast.. for those who do not want to set up ccache or distcc.. I would suggest that you install ccache though.. its easy to do. type emerge ccache then set the cache size.. in my case .5G or 500 megs. CCACHE_SIZE="2G" note this could be set using ="500M" even at 500 megs...

try this cd with windows.. when you get your prompt try using its ssh..

or when you do ssh agian use the -v option and post what it says all the way..

I'm proud to report that mythtv ver .16 compiled. only one emerge --resume needed. thanks to distcc and ccache


Ahh.. I was scared of Linux on Xbox.. small memory and all but with ccache and distcc it just liek any other Gentoo install I have.


Good work ShAnnex

ok ..update added ccache. now compiles take a lot less time. adn now I see real fail errors... trying agian with emerge --resume.. it looks like the compiler is running out of memory.. so a resume should start where it failed.

ok some good news and bad.. distcc worked for mame.. (which took 6 hours before and failed only took 30 min and passed)

now it only takes mythtv 2 hours to fail (same point in the compile though)

distcc with only one machine (amd 2800XP) does help alot..



with no error??? I am lost...

Im have teh same problem, but looking at dmesg mine looks like it is running out of swap space during compiling.. I am going to enable distcc see link http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml

I have done this with other lowend systems to make compiling faster and work in some cases.

Thank you..
I have 3 other 1.1 Xbox's I'll install it on and I'll save this one for HD..

This may be a bug, But after searching I can find no one else with this problem.. but then agian most of the problems people are having they problay would never try this install method. I have a 1.6 xbox with a SmartXX. If I try to do a ssh install it fails everytime. I get the red flashing led and ...

to ssh in .. you must have a ssh tool on your pc.. putty will do for Winders users.. and or use a *nix os the file is under /etc/X11 it will be called one of two things XF86Config or xorg.conf aloso for Winders users is CYGWIN on CD.. http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ this will also give you the ability t...
