[Xbox-linux] Xbox Linux kernel for 2.6.20.1 working (sort of...)

[Ronald C.F. A. <rc...@cu...>]

Hi,

I have a bootable kernel for 2.6.20.1 kernel. Of course, I have no  
idea if/how well the FATX support will crash the system, but at least  
it will compile, and thus hopefully entice someone who knows what  
he's doing to fix it eventually ;-)

I have however another problem: I tried to configure that's as  
universally useful as possible w/o sacrificing XBOX bootability. The  
only way I get a bootable kernel though is if I use the 2.6.18-fc6  
xbox kernel, and then do a make oldconfig.

However, the moment I try to make a slightly more universally useful  
kernel by enabling a few options that seem like they might come in  
handy at some point or another, the kernel won't boot anymore.

Now, since each option change and compile install, and rescue boot  
and revert cycle takes several hours, it's extremely unpractical the  
enable options one-by one, or to try to narrow down which option(s)  
it is exactly that make the kernel not boot.

So what I wonder is if any of you had similar experiences when you  
compiled an xbox kernel. If you know/remember any option that you  
tried that made the kernel not boot, I'd be very interested in  
knowing which because maybe it's as simple as deselecting a few known  
bad options to achieve what I want with the rest.

Greetings,

Ronald
