Flashing Back to EvoX

Post by beshamish »

Hi, this morning i flashed my mod with the bios for gentoo linux and made a cd from the ISO image for the gentoo home edition. The cd i made doesn't work, i used a TDk 700mb CD-rw and burnt at 4X. I now want to go back to my evox dashboard coz i just wanna play games now. But don't know how to flash back to my original bios, can anybody help me coz i can't get gentoox workin either :( and help would be moslty appreciated, thanks

You have a keyboard for your pc so use "PUTTY" (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... ad.html)to ssh and use the
IP 192.168.1.13 to loggin to your box, then log in as root and type
magic
and enter
Maybe after a few hours your Gentoox will work
Is your box networked to the pc and if yes how.

Hi, i just tried that putty but it won't connect i keep getting connection timed out, would it be because gentoox isn't actually installed properly so it is not connecting to the network?

What's your main PC's IP Address ?

Until you can get into your xbox, it has to be 192.168.1.something

Gas.

If you do the E install none of your hdd will be formated and then you can allways delete the instilation by ftp'ing. I think you need to have 3.8 gig free on E to do it this way.
