1 Worked like a charm for me, after building, I flashed one xbox with a matrix
2 in it with the 256k and another with a tsop mod and the 1meg. Both boxes
3 boot from a cdrw burned with the livecd-xbox-20050914.iso and the tsop box,
4 the tsop box, has had lot's of trouble reading disks as the drive is
5 starting to go, but it read the gentoo boot disk no problem.

16 Hi.

18 A new version of cromwell ( cromwell-2.40-r2 ) is in the CVS.
19 Shouldn't take too long until it apers in portage. I took some
20 fixes for cdrom booting from the xbox-linux CVS.
21 If you wanna test this version, you have to unmask cromwell
22 echo sys-boot/cromwell >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
