Has anyone been able to connect an external usb drive to the xbox with gentoox v2? If so what were the exact steps that you took to mount the drive, and what custom configuration (if any) did you do to the default setup?
anyone tried this in 2.1?
It's amazing that one of the most seemingly useful features has been impossible for so long. Mounting a USB drive seems like it should pretty basic-- has no one in the history of xbox development really never succeeded at this?
If you actually read the news, youd see i did this a few weeks ago... theres even a post in this forum about it... use your eyes before posting needlessly.
if you bothered to read my post, you would see that I wasn't talking about cd burning, but mounting an external usb drive, which has still not been acheived or demonstated.
I read your post, and you dont have the technical ability to explain yourself properly. You stated "USB drive". That means ANY type of drive. Dont argue the point that "mounting" makes any difference because you still have to mount cd drives, besides... I HAD done this, the access speeds were so slow it was barely worth posting about. If you read the news page youd have seen that i posted the necessary kernel configuration to achieve this.
detroits instructions got my external hard disk working! It was a little slow but certainly useable. Be nice if the xbox had usb2 ports! Biggest problem was all the debug messages i got in dmesg output and in the log files. I got read of the debug optionsin the kernel .config and reinstalled. I STILL got the annoying messages though.
I would REALLY like to plug my usb drive back in, anyone solved this one?
