Wow!!!!! XeLL is the Xenon Linux Loader. It's a second-stage bootloader and is usually run by an exploit. The method of booting this is not a part of this project. XeLL catches CPU threads, sets them up (basically setting HRMOR to zero), loads an ELF file from either network (tftp) or CDROM, and launches it. It also contains a flat device tree for linux. cdrom.c includes a very simple ISO9660 parser, which tries to boot the file named ""vmlinux". lwIP ( http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/) is used for networking. Network config is currently hardcoded in network.c (and main.c). XeLL also contains a HTTP server. It is not really used. XeLL is licensed under the GPL v2, and no other version. Xenon-specific stuff of XeLL was written by Felix Domke , other parts where taken from other free sourcecodes. No non-free hardware documentation was used for developing XeLL. XeLL is in a very early stage, but is (most of the time) fully working Grab files here: http://free60.cvs.sourceforge.net/free60/xell/Taken from: http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EEZuFZpZFEucRywmpU.phpIf someone could try this and confirm that this works, it would be nice. And maybe write a small tutorial on how to make it work  I myself have 4552  |

so from what i understand you can get linux running this way without using the king kong disk right ?
could we then recover the dvd-key from with in linux ?
and i agree a how-to for this would be usefull

No. Of course you have to have some signed executable which uses unsigned shaders to modify the memory to exploit the hypervisor bug and so on. |

Yes, you would need the king kong exploit, or some other kind of exploit afaik...... "Xell requires an xbox360 console with kernel 4532 or 4548, a flashed drive, and a patched KingKong backup" Anyways, with linux installed, finding other exploits wont be far off,,, i hope  Hopefully, someone with old kernel and serial adapter hooked up can try this loader soon. |

Taken from xbscene: "If someone releases a win32 patcher ready to use on KingKong backup and allowing execution of a dynamic loader, based on Xell, listening to ethernet, it should be useful even for people not having the serial device installed inside console (ethernet transfert instead of serial transfert)." Would be cool if the hack could be run via usb or network interface indeed.... Someone with abit more knowledge should start up a tech thread about this linux loader asap Apperantly people have managed to get linux booting, this seems very promising |

If my understanding is correct that loader does load linux via the network or from the cdrom if you skim through main.c you can see all the boot options. I don't think usb is an option as of yet. There is also a thread in the software tech forums. That is about a C Compiler for the Xbox360. tmbinc the guy who wrote the loader posted info about it there.

Apearantly Felix is working on something that will let us boot linux just via cd (no need for the serial modification), lets hope his work is going well and he releases it soon |

Are we ever going to get any pictures of Linux running? Where are all the youtube videos...  Can't wait to see someone running a distro with Beryl installed. Personally, I'd like to see how the performance of Folding@Home on the 360 compares to the PS3. |

That would be HUGE But does the linux loader have access to all the hardware ? If so it would be a matter of days before a linux live CD with x264 720p mediacenter appears and make the 360 the n°1 media center, replacing our beloved xbox 1  |
