Really? I did an install of Ubuntu loosely based on this:
http://wiki.eple.us/appletv_ubuntu_9.10_xbmc
And my system works fine, although I don't use the svn nightlies... but
that's just a matter of using the SVN PPA for XBMC. It's not XBMCLive.
Whoever wrote it got a number of the commands wrong. For example,
there's no installing envyng, it's called envyng-core. The command isn't
apt-add-repository, it's add-apt-repository. It seems like he wrote the
guide from memory.
I found a different way of starting XBMC automatically on the net that
also didn't work completely, I ended up having to mod it also. However I
ultimately ended up with a system that's worked better than anything
else I've run on the box (IMHO) and I've run versions of Ubuntu from 7.x
up to the 9.10 I'm running now.
Sometime in the next week my wife is headed off to visit her family for
two weeks, so I was planning to put up a page on the atv-bootloader site
detailing how to install 9.10 for XBMC. Including copies of my configs
for LIRC, an XBMC auto-start script for the upstart system, xorg
configs, the things that still work for releasing the 64M of memory from
the video drivers, etc...

I can only get it to boot using the XBMCbuntu method on the wiki.
Unfortunately That intalls the XBMC-live and I can't seem to update to
SVN nightly without completely breaking everything.

I am dual booting Karmic on my laptop and handle all commands to the
ATV through that. I have been using karmic but I am going to go ahead
and try Hardy. WOuld you suggest trying the minimal install through
netbbot method or through the usb stick/iso method? I want to give
this another go, because I don't like to be defeated by projects.
Thanks for helping out thus far. I have been partitioning the drive
while it was connected to the apple tv through SSH and a bootloader
stick. It seems to be working well so far.
I guess I don't understand, if you have karmic on the AppleTV
already, what's the problem ?
