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

[Shannon Carver]

            I got this error when I first started using the myth xbox
frontend.
 
            I was getting this error because I was unzipping the
myth.tgz in windows.
            Then modifying the files and zipping backup in windows. This
did not work.
 
            I had to untar and tar them in linux and everything then
worked.
 
            Maybe this will help.  I could not tell when you said
re-zipped if you were using windows.

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.
 
Dennis

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
