For the record, I was able to install Mythbuntu (8.04, 8.10 and 9.04) from a USB stick. It's been a while but the basic steps were:
- Make an Ext3 partition on the USB stick (I used the USB stick with my bootloader partition, just added a new partition after the bootloader) - Copy the contents of a Mythbuntu live CD to the Ext3 partition. I did a straight file copy, nothing special. - Boot the ATV from the USB stick - Mount the Ext3 partition - Use kexec to start the Mythbuntu kernel - Install Mythbuntu onto the internal hard drive For Mythbuntu the mount and kexec commands were: --> mount /dev/sdb3 /tmp --> kexec --load /tmp/casper/vmlinuz --initrd=/tmp/casper/initrd.gz -- command-line="boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz nosplash vesa video=vesafb" --> kexec -e I also see the "mount proc/mounts: No such file or directory" when booting from the hard drive after installing. But the bootloader still finds and boots the kernel. On Jun 5, 2009, at 2:07 AM, iitywygms wrote: > > Okay. > Let me just say.
