[marcox62]

Dear friends, i installed xecuter3ce in my xbox 1.6b

i found loader 3.03 on bank 5678 working
so i flashed on bank 1234 x3 3294 xbin
on start up it works OK

i would like to install the cromwell bios in the xebian distributions on http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page

but the ISO cd doesn't start

i olso tried to decompress the cromwell bios and to flash it on bank 1234 but i have blank screen.

Please suggest me the right linux version
working in combination with x3 3294 xbin

Linux Cromwell bios does not work on the 1.6b.
your 1.6b has Hynix ram and the timing is all different.

see the New 1.6 notice at the bottom of this.

Sorry.... looks like you'll have to buy an older box from ebay if you want Linux

I'm not sure its that easy on a 1.6b.
Have you tried installing a dash such as evox and then ftp xromwell.xbe to your drive.

Then using evox menu run the xromwell.xbe to boot the Xebian CD

finaly i did it XEBIAN

finaly i did it

first problem is the Samsung driver, i found i CD-RW TDK working
second i did the installation by a remote SSH client Putty

now i have to solve the Samsung driver but the MTKflash doesn't work
so i am working on paching the firmware or there are some mods ?

another problem is Xebian and the screen overscan i don't like

Yes, here I'm using X3CE/X3-3294 on a 1.6b to run Xebian 1.1.4. Have MythTV running as a front end.

Welcome to the : Xebian
Version : 1.1.4-xbox
Author : Edgar Hucek ([email protected])
Hostname : xebian.localdomain.local
Linux Ver. : 2.4.31-xbox

So I guess it is possible!
