Ta!
I thought I’d try this on my 1.6 Xbox that had the Gentoox loader already on it, but this wouldn’t boot off the Resctoox CD only Sparkle so I thought I’d try re-flashing a newer bios via Gentoox bios flash option, but I ended up nuking my Xecuter 2.6 mod chip. I’ve now got a programmer on order so I won’t be able to test this new version of resctoox till at least the middle of next week.
You know when you start those 10 minuet jobs and you really wish you had'nt!!!!

woo hoo! thanks for this tutorial. I searched for a loooonnnng time looking for how to do a fully native install with gentoox! I used the the new resctoox CD and the LFS worked fine. I also used reiserfs for /dev/hda2 and it worked great. Now I've got apache up and running. Again thanks for the tutorial... and thanks for your great work ShALLaX.

Programmer arrived yesterday and was up and running again last night, I’m happy to also report that Restoox 2.2 is working a treat. I will update the tutorial as soon as I get a chance.
Nice one!

Hehe, great job! You get the reboot request because Resctoox auto mounts your E: drive. Repartitioning while any partition is mounted means that the OS will continue using the old partition table, therefore a reboot is required (unless you unmount everything first).

Will this involve downloading a new vmlinuz and there for test my/our little /boot patch?New feature: XboxIR auto-repeat patch
There’s a new kernel patch which enables auto-repeat of keypresses on the Xbox remote. Run magic to update!
Also I never did ask, what does initrd do? And why don’t we need it?

Can I just make sure you didn’t copy and paste the command in to putty, for some reason it substitutes the ‘–o’ for ‘.o’ you must follow the tutorial word for word!
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/loopback && mount –o loop /mnt/hda2/rootfs /mnt/loopback
