Hello Scott, Thanks for coming back.
So here's my setup: - CF drive as a replacement for the stock HDD - Hardy installation (no ATV OS anymore) As described in the wiki, I used a USB stick with ATV bootloader on it (created with ATVusb-creator) to install everything. But once installation is done, (XBMC is installed and working), if I remove the USB stick from the ATV I am just unable to start the unit. As I described above, all I get is the ATV picture with a question mark flashing over it. I was wondering as well about the CF. I know it has always been a big question mark, some cards boot, some don't, but I don't really have a clue how I could make sure it comes from my CF card. The guy I quoted in my first message had the exact same problem as me and solved it by installing through a USB CD reader - he couldn't make it using the stick only. I will soon be able to test with another small PATA SSD though. Do we need to touch the Linux grub after the installation ? Cheers! On Apr 15, 10:34 pm, "Scott D.

Not sure what you are > doing as you mention both CF and USB Flash drive in your post. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
