Also, XBMC crashes after few seconds of playback with 1080p
Playback is not smooth with 720p

1080p and 720p smooth issues were due to swap not used, I corrected it.
Green overlay is still present Sad

check that you have a swap partition used (type "free" via ssh)

Thx will do, had to revert back to the old backup before upgrade, ran out of space which might of been part of the issue, might need to get myself another memory stick to play with for testing.

Can I just restore the minimal image to a USB external hard drive and have that boot the ATV? This would be without touching the internal drive which would remain as OSX and I don't really want to use the internal drive as storage when trying Linux.

Thanks...philip

yes, I have an atv that runs this way.

Great. Thank's. I've got to tell you that r28256 running on that Linux image on the ATV is astonishingly good, even from a USB stick. The only thing that hasn't worked well has been subtitles ( idx/sub) which aren't in sync. I wish there were a way of getting r28256 running under the ATV's native OS. It isn't in the mirrors and so I can't get it. Dharma b3 on the ATV seems to not be as stable for running 720p files. Still impressive but not something I'd say was wife proof which Linux 28256 is in my opinion.

no swap file? huh... - mrhyde69 - 2010-10-20

I dd'ed pin's image to the hdd, I'm running r34731 xbmc and have crystal r156 driver installed.

i was looking @ the output of free and noticed xbmc thinks i don't have any swap space. top doesn't either yet I have have plenty according to parted. how can i get my system to see the swap partition?

edit: here's my xbmc.log

mrhyde69, check your the UUID string of your swap partition in /etc/fstab matches that of your linux swap partition, which is /dev/sda4 in your case. If they don't match swap is not used at all.

also, 10 gigs is an awful lot for a swap :-)

sudo blkid

That should return you UUID's of all your partitions. I actually forgot the command so didn't put that in my previous post, sorry about that.

Don't write /dev/sda4 as the value of UUID. It will be a long similar looking code, my guess is that the one from "sudo blkid" and your /etc/fstab don't match..
