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!

Use a USB HDD and mount it where you need it. I dont think there is a size limitation when you do it that way.

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'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)..

Hi,
after long time i decided to install gentoox pro again, I want use it as a nas. Now I have a little problem, the XBox has a Samsung 120GB 5400rpm harddisk, fdisk says:
Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120060444672 bytes
61 heads, 33 sectors/track, 116489 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2013 * 512 = 1030656 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 249 250602 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda2 * 250 116489 116995560 83 Linux
But df -h says:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop/0 4.0G 3.2G 818M 80% /
df: `/newroot': No such file or directory
/dev/hda50 4.8G 4.2G 626M 88% /mnt/fatx/e
My fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> $
/dev/loop/0 / reiserfs notail $
proc /proc proc defaults $
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto$
/dev/hda51 /mnt/fatx/c fatx defaults,noauto,umask=0$
/dev/hda50 /mnt/fatx/e fatx defaults,umask=0000 $
/dev/hda55 /mnt/fatx/f fatx defaults,umask=0000 $
Where is the rest of the 120 GB?
Some solutions?
Greetings

Why the hell does your fstab look like that? If you've followed the TUT it should look like so;
# 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
If you wish to modify the config, then your question doesn't really relate to this tutorial.
Regards
