Is There Any Distro With 2.6.x Kernel Options

[Haros]

Well, I use my xbox as a server. I don't need a gui or fatx support. So I guess it's easier to patch a modern kernel and make it work. Am I right?

Security patches may fall behind as well. That's important in running a server exposed to the Internet.

Yeah that's true. That's why I want a modern kernel for the xbox.

well the fatx dev is gone he stopped mid way in 2.6. there hasn't been any alisa or xorg patches in years. its a sad state right now. we need a modern kernel with fatx and other patches thers more then fatx in the patch timing joystick etc. we need a new nivida driver due to the chnage to nevu. we need xorg and alisa brought up2date. and probably pulseaudio as well.

gentoox always felt like it had a bottleneck in it compared to other distros. always seems to be slow as hell. wile pretty much every other distro released for the xbox ran circles around it. it is still the most up2date distro thow.

we need to get some devs back and revive xbox linux.

Well, here is an effort to continue updating the kernel. As the author says, he has a private patch for 2.6.29. So if you want to contribute, you may contact him.

2.6.30 has nevu the new nivida oss driver. its no longer a matter of line changing the patches for the newer kernels. everything need to be re patched from scratch. as i said unless some of the old hackers come back and give us major updates where all sitting at a deadend.

also cute he whats money. not asking but demanding it for a release. not the type of people im asking to return. hes also forgetting this more then a kernel matter. xorg and alisa both will need major patch upgrades as well as the xorg replacement coming soon.

well see how well he does before i run off supporting him.

I didn't know about that driver change. Any case, I actually need that 2.6.29 for a future project, but is sad that people want money back for something that is free.

BTW, wouldn't it be possible to use newer Linux distros with the latest 2.6.16 kernel available for xbox?

[luther349]

its more then the kernel you need for a newer distro to work if you want a gui and sound. both xorg and alisa needs patches. also 2.6 xbox has broken fatx support very buggy and slow. so you can only work native.

sad state where in these days. but with iphones and netbook pretty mutch replacing the market the xbox was hacked for nobody seems to wanna give us some update.
