Hey guys, I'm about to rip out my hair on the project. For the past 2-3 weeks I've been trying to get my ATV to boot Gentoo properly and ONE time I by some magic of the gods happened to get it running......only to hose it during an update. So now I am here, seeking your help.
I have followed basically all of the ATV gentoo install guides but have been using a hybrid of these two mainly: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythFrontend_on_Apple_TV_using_Gentoo http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_Gentoo-XBMC_on_AppleTV For the majority of the process, I use the mythtv guide, replacing the make.conf, kernel configuration while still using genkernel, and using recovery 1.0 instead of 0.6 I am following the directions word by word with the exception of: using http://atv-bootloader.googlecode.com/files/recovery-1.0.tar.gz instad of http://atv-bootloader.googlecode.com/files/recovery-0.6.tar.gz partitioning via parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 75M 38.9GB parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary linux-swap 38.9GB 40.0GB instead of parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 75M 16GB parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary linux-swap 16GB 17GB having removed kde and gnome from make.conf using this thread as a work around for my Glib 2.30 problem (merge =dev-libs/glib-2.28.8 emerge pkgconfig emerge dev-libs/glib) fixing disappearing eth0 with the help of this thread (su cd /etc/init.d/ ln -s net.lo net.eth0 then rc-update add net.eth0 boot) I have tried using gentoo-sources 3.0.6 and 2.6.39-r4 and during boot after installing all of the fundamentals, the screen just stays at jumping to kernel. Here is my latest grub.conf for gentoo-sources built using genkernel: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo Linux 2.6.39-r4 root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda4 udev initrd /boot/initramfs I've also followed the make && make modules_install method used in the XBMC guide. I am at a loss here guys. Thank you! -- 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
