Newbie with a BIG problem

Post by PeNsTeR »

I tried to install gentoox, after reeding some of the turtorials, I decided to do it the FTP way.
And now this is what happens to me, everytime I try to run gentoox installation.

I get a flashing flickery screen, like having several flipped screens put together. So i can't see a thing.
And I got the same problem running win ce.net.

Could anyone please help me?

ok, let me tell you...
(sorry for bad english, i'm german)

1 month ago i was a n00b with the same problem
but i've read the postings, news, tutorials at shallax.com
and now i'm a n00b too but i know much more about problems ;)

I think you've a Xbox with FOCUS Chip so you got a scrambled install screen.
Other Xbox Linux Versions have the same problem and .CE too

But there is a solution for this problem.
Do an SSH Install and update with "magic"
(not only copy over ftp and start with xbox as you do)
After you've done the Install and run magic, your Gentoox will boot
and work without scrambled screen.

Here are some help: viewtopic.php?t=890
Try your luck!
And next time use the Search Function in Forum and read the news.
