[mythtv-users] RE: MythTV X-Box Frontend 0.3 Problems...

[Dennis Cartier]

Hi John,

I will look into this when I get home tonight. I have seen this exact error,
but the cause escapes me right now. I think it has to do with the file
system not being mounted correctly when the pivot_root occurs.

Are you sure you are using the initrd that came with my distro and not the
one from Debian 0.4.1? They are quite different and are not interchangeable.

  Subject: MythTV X-Box Frontend 0.3 Problems...



  I'm trying to setup Dennis Cartier's mythtv frontend for the x-box (v0.3)
and I'm having some problems.

  On my x-box, I have the follow files on my E:

  default.xbe
  initrd
  linuxboot.cfg
  myth.tgz
  myth_progfs
  myth_rootfs
  swap
  vmlinuz

  When I go to launch E:\default.xbe from my dashboard (EvoX), Linux starts
booting up and I see a few messages, but then after only a couple of seconds
I see:

  Kernel panic:  Attempted to kill init!

  Then, it freezes.

  Do I have something setup wrong?  I've read through the readme and
configured (and re-zipped) the myth.tgz so I'm not sure why this isn't
working.  I've had Ed's Debian 0.4.1 installed before so I somewhat know
what I'm doing but I'm not sure why this isn't working for me.

  Any help would be greatly appriciated.

  - John
