Hello,

Thanks for your very fast answer Eric :)

I took a 2.6.15 kernel from kernel.org, patched it,used your .config, and I 
get exactly the same result, the screen shakes, the tv looses video sync and 
the kernel stops/crashes.
Could you please send me directly to my email address your binary bzImage? 
I could check whether or not I can boot it directly, and if the problem comes 
from my xbox or from my compilation.

I also found a small fix: I installed the 2.4.31 headers from the x-dsl 
project on xbox-linux sourceforge site, I was able to compile my wifi adapter 
module, and it ended up working like a charm :)

I still have other peripherals I need to check on. So I went on, took the 
sources of 2.4.31, patched them and compiled them with the config found 
in /boot/config-2.4.31-xbox on Xebian 1.1.4, and I was able to boot using 
that bzImage!

Could it be an incompatibility between 2.6 framebuffer driver and the less 
supported video chipset in newer xbox? I bought mine in august 2005.
How old is yours?

Thanks,

seb
