I have pin pointed the problem. It seems that this problem only occurs on the 1.6 xboxes with the appleVI pro chip using the M8 bios.

So now i need to ask if the Bios controls the screen posittioning? because the same cd shows up fine on my softmodded xboxes.

And i am going to further test this on another xbox modded with an appleV. Just to see if it is just the M8 bios.

Actually that isn't the real problem. It is the setup for Gentoox and some TVs no matter what version of Xbox you own. On my v1.0 or v1.4 I have the same problem on my 55" Widescreen HDTV when I use the HDTV kit, so I did my installs from an SSH. I does however screw me on the first boot questions after it is installed.

you can ssh in and run "firstboot".... also, please dont mention evox on these forums. The Xbox v1.6 has NO overscan correction, and HDTV isnt very good for overscan.
