Hi again, I'm succesfully compiling the kernel as we speak (at a normal speed this time around :)) There is 1 problem: I wasn't able to mount the linux boot partition at /dev/sda1 using the pendrive: mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /tmp/boot failed: Invalid argument I've googled about this, but I can't find any solution, only lots of other questions. The only option seems to be to reboot and try again, but can I boot the pendrive again with this patched AppleTV? So, I know Gentoo won't boot, but will the efi bootloader be able to boot from usb? Or does someone have a better solution? Thank you for your time, Jelle De Loecker |

Thanks for the help! :) No, I'm using a patchstick (atv-bootloader) I then telnet into the machine. (According to this tutorial: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MythFrontend_on_Apple_TV_using_Gentoo) When I reboot the regular linux kernel comes up (the one from the patchstick, even without the patchstick) Can the /boot partition also be an ext2 filesystem, or does it HAVE to be fat? /Met vriendelijke groeten,/ *Jelle De Loecker* Kipdola Studios - Tomberg Justin Mattock schreef: > On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 3:07 AM, Jelle De Loecker <sk...@ki...> wrote: > >> Hi again, >> >> I'm succesfully compiling the kernel as we speak (at a normal speed this >> time around :)) >> >> There is 1 problem: I wasn't able to mount the linux boot partition at >> /dev/sda1 using the pendrive: >> >> mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /tmp/boot failed: Invalid argument >> >> >> I've googled about this, but I can't find any solution, only lots of >> other questions. >> The only option seems to be to reboot and try again, but can I boot the >> pendrive again with this patched AppleTV? >> >> So, I know Gentoo won't boot, but will the efi bootloader be able to >> boot from usb? >> Or does someone have a better solution? >> >> Thank you for your time, >> Jelle De Loecker >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge >> Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes >> Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world >> http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >> _______________________________________________ >> Mactel-linux-users mailing list >> Mac...@li... >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mactel-linux-users >> >> > > Not sure on how to answer this, but am willing > to help in any way, from the looks of it > there seems to be a module missing causing the file system to be unkown. > Are you booting up with a live cd, and then mounting the > hard drive? > > |

The mbr should be correct, grub should be fine, too! So, am I correct to assume that the atv_bootloader will always come up and then load the next linux kernel through kexec? Because that's the thing that's not happening here, right? Where do I have to set this kexec thing? And where do I have to put the mbr file to? According to the tutorial it's this command: dd if=tmp/mbr_fast-1.0.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 but sdb is the usb drive, as he knows, so I did it to sda, which is the hard drive. /Met vriendelijke groeten,/ *Jelle De Loecker* Kipdola Studios - Tomberg Justin Mattock schreef: > On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 7:10 AM, Jelle De Loecker <sk...@ki...> wrote: > >> Thanks for the help! :) >> >> No, I'm using a patchstick (atv-bootloader) >> I then telnet into the machine.

As for: dd if=tmp/mbr_fast-1.0.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 this is confusing to me: if=tmp/mbr_fast-1.0.bin do you see anything in /tmp or wherever this might be located. -- Justin P. Mattock |

Ah, I've finally found the problem! Well, there were several ... The tutorial on that wiki was actually based on this one: http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/InstallGentooVer1 Except they messed everything up. In the wiki-tutorial they were installing another kernel, yet they forgot to update the symlinks and grub.conf files and such. I've wrestled with this one for quite a while, I think I'll change a few things on the wiki itself to make it work properly :) /Met vriendelijke groeten,/ *Jelle De Loecker* Kipdola Studios - Tomberg Justin Mattock schreef: > On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 7:49 AM, Jelle De Loecker <sk...@ki...> wrote: > >> The mbr should be correct, grub should be fine, too! >> >> So, am I correct to assume that the atv_bootloader will always come up and >> then load the next linux kernel through kexec?
