thanks for this good info. Bit scared by the switch installation and physical modding requirements so I think im gonna retreat for now and concentrate on getting the USB option working. I'll keep my box in pristine condition, and i already have the kit. Tsuro - would the limit to 137GB patition size be true for usb devices also...?

hi trevante, maybe you can help me out, again! ....
Here's the latest and greatest, yes checked and rechecked jumpers...the last post on here tells me it's not possible to connect up 2 IDE devices, I'm not sure that's true?

Yes what about the proccessor? Does that increase speed too? Which one is more worth it?R0Bzombie wrote:On bootup it's amazing. It's booting lightning speed.

I'm thinking of buying an old 1.0/1.1 and getting more RAM put in it for Linux, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
And don't buy an old xbox, it's too expensive. Buy an old grafix card LEADTEK - WINFAST GeForce 2 Pro 64MB AGP 4x and the ram chips are the same as an xbox

I`ve edited my fstab and now my hdb shows on the storage media page but says it`s unmounted & if i click on it it says that hda is already mounted??
this is for a native install & i have only created 1 primary part on hdb.
I`d be real gratfull to anyone that can help, I was sat in front of this computer till 3;00 a.m last night looking at other peoples fstab entrys
, but I can`t find an example to copy from a native install.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb / reiserfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
many thanks for taking a look.

This should probably be in another thread - Blighty..
First off .. you've partitioned the drive with fdisk /dev/hdb ??
have you formatted the partition with reiserfs ??`
# mkreiserfs /dev/hdb1
then.. As the computer may only have one root - try mounting your second drive as a volume in ie /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/disk2
then add this to fstab :
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk2 reiserfs defaults 0 0
then mount it
# mount /mnt/disk2
I haven't replaced the dvdrom in my xbox - but this should work..
I think what you did wrong was trying to mount two roots..

thank you so much.
works perfectly now.
This has given me a huge boost now, My aim is to one day
learn how to use linux so I can kick that other sh*t of my pc
& be happy that I can mantain & look after my system.
I`ve been teaching myself ( learning from kind people like you ) how to use a pc for about 2 years now. I was never intrested untill all maner of good things started to happen on the xbox.
I keep trying to read through the manual at gentoo but it always gives me a headache & never really sinks in.
well anyway, between this thread and the native install thread, there is enough info for a complete noob like myself
to make a fully native gentoox xbox with 2 stock 10GB hdd`s.
thanks again.

200GB Support
I followed the cheesyboofs guide by the rule
viewtopic.php?t=3092
and got a 200gb hard drive working... Everything fine (well except for the classic emerge sync problem that made me put xebian on it)
Then removed the stock dvdrom unit and tried to boot... Failed, even with cromwell BIOS, it does not boot if it doesnt has the Slave IDE unit.
Then put a LITE-ON DVDRW unit on it and tried... it boots! And better, linux can see it as a DVDRW unit.
Then removed the DVDRW and put an old CreativeLabs CDROM... it boots!
So, if you have both ide (master and slave units it boots). Im gonna try with a 400gb ide hard disk, so my XNas will manage 600GB total
Unit details
Xbox 1.0 With Cromwell BIOS (flashed with resctoolbox from here)

I've tried to suggest this workaround/fix for the emerge sync problem - the problem as I've experienced is that the symlink points to the wrong version of linux.. (kernel 2.5 - something)
Code: Select all
xbox etc # ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4 /etc/make.profile
xbox etc #
Any linux guru's should've solved this long ago!
