Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2007 9:06 am Post subject: XBox360 installation -- I AM BACK!!! (from a gentoo lover) |
|
|
after same years off...i disided to put gentoo into my xbox360....!!!
i suspect that you have done all the nesesery steps to get an xbox360 to run linux....
....
any way lets do it....!!!
get Gentoo-livecd-xenon-beta2 iso
get xenonfb_drv.so (source from free60.org ...., nice work ..., keep on.... )
boot livecd and login as root
get a latest portage and the stage3 for ppc64
open a terminal
importand: date MMDDhhmmYY (date 0824110907 hit enter)
a minor problem with the hardware clock but i'll come back with a solution...i promise
code:
dhcpcd eth0 (or something like this....any way ...get your internet conection..working!!!)
cfdisk /dev/sda
1-p sda1=1GB linux swap
2-p sda2=the rest of the hd (i have an Fuji 60GB from an old&broken laptop.... )
mkswap /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda1
sync; sync; sync
tune2fs -O dir_index /devsda2
tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sda2
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sda2
I am ext3 lover
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo
tar xvpjf stage3....... /mnt/gentoo
tar xvp portage...... -C /mnt/gentoo/usr/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
ok so far..???
lets do a dirty trick now....
nano /etc/make.conf
and finetune: "-O2 -pipe -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -malvitec -mabi=alvitec"
"-J4"
ROCK baby YOOOO!!!
emerge gcc glibc etc.... for a manual bootstaping.....
and take same time and hit me...
emerge -uDe system
emerge -uD world
thats it!!!!(just live it in a room with an aircondision on ..and come back the next day.....hihihihi)
reboot
make a proper vmlinuz with source linux and xenon patch
make a xell cd for booting
thinks must be done....:
find a way to sync hardware clock....the xbox screw the clock all the time after a reboot,so before booting gentoo ... fix the time from the dashboard and when login to gentoo ALWAYS(!!!!) do date MMDDhhmmYY...
p.s. hit me also for my english |

Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2007 11:58 am Post subject: about the HW clock..... |
|
|
a simple but not perfect solution is to "rc-update ntp-client boot"
this way the system don't have to write or read the time inside the hwclock ...but take the time from the internet....!!
others too:
rc-update del clock
rc-update del net.eth0 default
rc-update add net.eth0 boot
and finaly... :
make the system wait to come eth0 up before start other services at boot time.....
(i am working on that...)
p.s. should i live the time to 1-1-1970..? it was fun then..... _________________ Linux=Gentoo
edit your make.conf and get the power out.... |
