I now have created a patchstick to recover my ATV. I used the guide and have got the USB patchstick set up with two partitions one hfs plus and one ext3. They are loaded per the instructions.
I booted my ATV and the auto failed, as expected and the telnet daemon started. However I can't seem to telnet in. I am connected from my linux laptop to the ATV via ethernet. The telnet daemon sees the ethernet connection. I opened Terminal, and typed telnet, and got the telnet> prompt I typed open appletv and got telnet> open appletv Trying 192.168.1.76... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host 192.168.1.76 was the IP address assigned by my router when I had wifi connection before I screwed everything up. I think I can follow the directions once I can get logged in. Can you point me the right way?
