I need to move my entire root partition...

[lateralus01]

I'm trying to get gentoo running with a 2.6 kernel on my xbox.

Now here is the problem:

The only way I can get Gentoo on it is by installing Gentoox.

Here is how Gentoox is installed:

The xbox has 6 partitions on its hard drive all with a FATX partition.
The Gentoox install cd simply copies a kernel, initramfs, bootloader, swap file, and rootfs file to one of the FATX partitions.
There is no compiling at all.

This works fine for a 2.4 kernel but not for a 2.6 kernel. The reason is because 2.6 kernels do not have a stable module for FATX partitions and therefore they cannot load the rootfs file. They will work if the root file is on a linux partition however.

So here's what I did:

I copied the rootfs file and put it in a different folder on the hard drive.
I made a 10 gig linux partition with ext2 filesystem.

So now I have an unmounted copy of the rootfs and a new partition to copy the root to.

How do I get it there?

Thanks,
Lateralus
