pklee Wrote:hello. total linux noob here and i'm using pin87a's img. I got the image to the usb drive but when i boot it hangs at "Begin: Waiting for root file system... ..." then i get the following error.

Check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
Alert! /dev/sdb3 does not exist. Dropping to Shell

anybody know how i fix this?

Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Yeah but doing that will take away your CrystalHD support as it will install a build that does not have CrystalHD functionality. You can however update your driver. Bleeding edge:

Code:

mkdir crystalHD
svn checkout http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
cd crystalhd/linux_lib/libcrystalhd
make
sudo make install
cd ../../driver/linux
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe crystalhd
cd
rm -rf crystalHD

Philmatic Wrote:All you need is a atv-boot enabled thumb-drive, and a second thumb-drive with JUST the IMG file on it, NOT A RESTORED VERSION OF THE IMAGE. It should literally be pin87a's IMG file on the root of a thumb-drive.

Then you need to mount the thumb-drive with the IMG file and cd into the directory, the following should then work.

Code:

sudo dd if=atv-usbboot-xbmcbuntu-crystalhd-hdmi-28256-R3.rar of=/dev/sda

Then when you're done, change the com.apple.Boot.plist parameter to /dev/sda3 and reboot. You should be golden...

pklee Wrote:Looks like i'm running in this same error http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=566738&postcount=621 but i'm referencing the correct drive in my command. i'm using osx to run this.
sudo dd if=atv-usbboot-xbmcbuntu-crystalhd-hdmi-28256-R3.img of=/dev/disk2 bs=4096

i checked disk utility and it's populating with disk2, the original partition on the stick was referenced as disk2s2.

I'm totally lost...

liquidinsect Wrote:Hello all,

I really appreciate the work that has been done on this project. I am trying to figure out how to install this image to a seperate hard drive (one without the ATV OS) so I can remove my USB drive and keep the ATV OS drive untouched. I've written the image directly to a hard drive using physdiskwrite and it seems to work for the most part except for a few things. I changed what I thought were all the entries pointing to /dev/sdb* but I think I may have missed some. When it boots up I get some errors about modules not being loaded correctly, which in turn keeps X from starting among other things. Is there a script or something I'm missing that's hard coded to point to /dev/sdb* ?
