Ok, in this tutorial i will be showing you how to run Linux (Gentoo Live) on your Jtagged Xbox 360, this is not the King Kong Hack, and does not require you to have a Kernel version of 4532 or 4548, this will work with any rebooter e.g XBR 8955, freeBOOT 9199 e.t.c.
Ok, you will need a few things for this to work;
1. Jtagged Xbox 360 with working DVD drive & Linux bootloader installed (xell)
2. Gentoo Live ISO
3. USB Keyboard & Mouse
4. Computer that is able to burn cd's
5. Image burning software (I recommend Power ISO)
6. 1x Blank CD
Lets get started.
1 - Download Gentoo Live ISO
2 - Burn ISO to disc
3 - Attach Jtag to screen using either AV or Component (HDMI wont work)
4 - Start console using eject button, as soon as it boots into xell place the disc you have just burnt into tray and close it
5 - After the xell script ends, it should boot from the gentoo live cd
6 - You should now have a black screen with penguins at the top
7 - Let the Gentoo Live script run (may take a while)
8 - After it loads the files, it should boot into the desktop
9 - Have fun using your xbox as a computer!
If you want sound modules
Here is a kernel with the xenon sound modules
Xenon Sound Modules
Replace the vmlinux from your sata2 CD with this one. Extract the 2.6.24.3 folder in the /lib/modules directory.
Run this command:
sudo echo "snd-xenon" > /etc/modules
Reboot.
