Posted this on the mythbuntu forums but no help there. My goal is to get mythbuntu installed on the atv but at this point getting anything installed would be a plus.
Anyway. Here it is.
Okay guys, I need some help
Been at this all weekend and still no joy.
I have followed this guide exactly
http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloa...titioningLinux
Everything goes well and no errors seen.
I then follow this guide.
http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloa.../BootingLiveCD
I do the netboot install and all goes well.
This is what I do.
Boot the AppleTV using atv-bootloader and connect using telnet. Then
mkdir tmp
mount /dev/sdb1 tmp
kexec --load tmp/linux --initrd=tmp/initrd.gz --command-line="vga=normal vesa video=vesafb"
kexec -e
I install ubuntu, no errors noticed. I install system to partition 4 and swap to 5.
Now here is where I am stuck.
When I reboot the atv, nothing happens and the atv logo with the question mark appears.
So I stick in the atv-bootloader usb stick and it boots to give me the login prompt.
I can login. I just don't know where to go from here??????
How do I start linux? Should it start automatically?
If I run boot_linux.sh this is what I get.
boot_linux.sh
sda4/boot/brub menu.list found
/bin/bash/
kexec – load /mnt/rootfs/boot/vmlinux (alot of numbers and stuff I am to tired to type)
kexec jump to new kernel
mount: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
mount: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
I have been at this all weekend and my eyes are shot.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
