Post subject: | Xbox original as kolibri os platform? |
Hi, I just watched a xbox (original) video on youtube and was wondering whether this could be a great platform for kolibri os. It is cheap (these days), easy to connect to a monitor or crt, builds on pc hardware and has enough power to run most stuff. Did someone already try to get kolibri os on a xbox? What are your thoughts on this? |

I have one laying around so might try it someday. First step is flashing other firmware in the XBOX, like I told you before viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2663 . The hardware seems like a good platform for KolibriOS, yes. |

Oh, quite some time ago! I have some spare time as I need to get down on my plus work hours. I will try to find which methodes off getting linux on the xbox are available. Perhaps it is easier than we think. If linux runs on the xbox, we would only have to get the bootloader pointing to the kos.img file. Might be a good project for our next retro meeting. |

One step closer! I got 2 old xbox classic consols, 2 controllers, 1 set for connecting 1 xbox for 55 Euros yesterday. Now I need to find some time to get one softmodded and install linux on it. After that I can test kos on it. |

Now I have xbox original with softmod and one with a chip. Both can run the dsl linux distro cromwell is used as bootloader. So no grub bootloader. Is there a way to load kolibri os from within linux like in dos/windows? |

According to wikipedia, the cromwell bios has grub integrated. I'd try to get into the grub menu and load kolibrios from there. Cross your fingers this system has VESA support.. |

Would that be the linuxboot.cfg? title 640x480 kernel linux24 initrd minirt24.gz append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:640x480 dsl lang=xbox utc mydsl=hda50 joy quiet kbd-reset title 800x600 kernel linux24 initrd minirt24.gz append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:800x600 dsl lang=xbox utc mydsl=hda50 joy quiet kbd-reset title 480p kernel linux24 initrd minirt24.gz append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:480p dsl lang=xbox utc mydsl=hda50 joy quiet kbd-reset title 720p kernel linux24 initrd minirt24.gz append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:720p dsl lang=xbox utc mydsl=hda50 joy quiet kbd-reset Is on the dsl.iso (https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbox-l ... SL%20v0.6/) what would I have to insert there? |

linuxboot.cfg? title 640x480 kernel linux24 initrd minirt24.gz append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:640x480 dsl lang=xbox utc mydsl=hda50 joy quiet kbd-reset and change to: title KolibriOS root (hd0,2) ?!? also without hd? kernel /memdisk would be needed to be copied? initrd /kolibri.img would be the floppy image? what does the append root do? |

I believe memdisk is a program responsible for the virtual floppy drive, so if you dont have that, copying it from another x86 system might work.. |

Post subject: | Re: Xbox original as kolibri os platform? |
Than I will give it tomorrow a try with these settings: title KolibriOS kernel /memdisk (need to find it but should be no problem) initrd /kolibri.img Xbox has a somewhat Nvidia like grafic card. So vesa should be present. But I was told that some pci accesses must be blocked because of incompatibilities of xbox vs x86 hardware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_tech ... ifications xbox original would be a nice dev plattform for kolibri os |

Try to make a bootable iso image that boots in any emulator for the first. |

I installed dsl linux on the hda2 partition and than there is linuxboot.cfg under /boot. I add the following lines, but it seems to hang after reading: title KolibriOS root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/memdisk initrd /boot/kolibri.img append root=/dev/hda2 init=/etc/init ro video=xbox:640x480 quiet kbd-reset ![]() |
