[mythtv-users] Apple tv with mythbuntu will not boot

[Kevin Johnson]

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.
