[Xbox-linux-user] Bios Problem

[Travis S. <tra...@co...>]

Hello,  I have a rather unusual problem. I have a ver 1.0 xbox that I
have spent a week rebuilding
and preparing to install Linux onto. While I was using the raincoat to
flash the TSOP, the progress
bar for the writing portion halted at 23% and would not progress beyond
that. I waited for quite some
time, but it just never came back. Here is a copy of the onscreen
message:

(I should note that the unit originally suffered from console coma, and
I had fixed this by bypassing
the damaged portion of the bios with a jumper to pin A18.)
After awhile my telnet session warned that it had lost the connection.
Repeated attempts to
reconnect to the box proved unsuccessful. And eventually I just hit the
reset switch. So my 
question is this: How bad is it? Do I have any hope of getting Linux on
this machine?  Any
help with this would really be appreciated. Thank you.
