Hi,
We need to know how it fails in order to help you move on!
Is there any way you can show us a screen dump, this should be easy to do if you are 'puttied' in.

Hi...thanks for coming to help...
No errors show-
9.5 gig hard drives work like a treat but the 320 WD (as said- tried 3 in total "new 320's")
Typing w will then quit saving the config to disk.
And format,
# mkreiserfs /dev/hda2
# mkswap /dev/hda1
# swapon /dev/hda1
on the # swapon /dev/hda1 a menu shows and asks to select from a number of what appears to be hard drive types (about 15 in the list)

Well my friend, if a 9Gb works and a 320Gb does not then it must be the size of the drive that is the problem. I have two 200Gb drives working in one xbox but I have not tried anything larger yet. You could try making the last partition smaller and see if it will then format!

Problem Booting the Native System
Hello. First THX for the TUT
I have tried but now when the nativ sysztem boots it hangs by:
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 01:00
This is my "linuxboot.cfg":
title Gentoox
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd no
append init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 kbd-reset video=xboxfb:640x480,nohwcursor,hoc=13,voc=13
What wrong with it??
I need help.
PLZ
Thx popy

I've just reinstalled my xbox to Pro 3.0 - didn't try any upgrades, just went for the complete reinstall..
Native tutorial worked great - just changed the format command to do a ext3 format instead for reiserfs.
And I'm now working on restoring user data..
Not much difference as I see it (between pro 2.0 and pro 3.0) but it's fun to reinstall
Thank you Shallax for the Gentoo distro on Xbox - and thank you Cheesyboofs for the excellent work on the native tut! (and all others who has contributed)..

Why the hell does your fstab look like that? If you've followed the TUT it should look like so;
Regards
If you wish to modify the config, then your question doesn't really relate to this tutorial.# cat /mnt/hda2/etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
