I got some serious problems installing GentooX on a plain hard disk.
What I did:
Bought an XBox HW Rev. 1.0, soldered the TSOP switches and exploited it with 007. I choosed Cromwell as Bios. Then I replaced the HDD with a new 120G disk and soldered 2 Standard USB Ports. Everything works fine with Xebian.
But I would like to try GentooX on my Box.
Ok, CD Image leeched, burned to disk, into the Box, lockup while loading. No problem, flashed the Stardust Bios, now boots without errors.
When the installer asked me for installation type, I choosed native. But when creating partitions it gives me an error. I know that the installer doesn't work if there are no FatX partitions available.
Can anyone help me?

Not sure if Xebian uses FatX, but if it doesn't, and you didn't format, there's your problem.Consolero wrote:I know that the installer doesn't work if there are no FatX partitions available.
