Hi, I'm experimenting with the ATV bootloader and would like to try running linux (Ubuntu Jaunty for starters) as a live 'CD' from a USB stick, i.e. without installing Jaunty to the HDD - preferably I'd like to make as few changes to the HDD as I can get away with. My first question is - is this possible? The reason I ask is because most people seem to have performed a full install to HDD. I've followed the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/BootingLiveCD including the "Do I really need a USB CD/DVD drive" section. Using Ubuntu 9.04 live CD image the result is a partial boot which eventually drops back to busybox after the line "sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0" - I assmue this indicates a failed boot as I would have expected an Ubuntu prompt, not a busybox one. Using the Ubuntu (Jaunty) Net installer image (as suggested elsewhere in this group) results in the "choose your language" page of the installation process as would be expected, however I don't want to do an install. For what its worth, the response from running kexec --load tmp/casper/vmlinuz --initrd=tmp/casper/initrd.gz -- command-line="preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz nosplash vesa video=vesafb" is setup_linux_vesafb: 720x480x32 @ 10018000 +2d0000
- other people seem to report a higher resolution, does this indicate older hardware on my ATV?
