titous Wrote:Davilla,
thanks for your response and for thre great job in Crystalhd. I checked the LCD and was already turned off. Do you think that if I change the Broadcom card for a newer one the results will be better?

I'm using a 2GB stick...how big of a stick do I need?

davilla Wrote:what internal partition is mounted at src ?
what USB partition is mounted at dst ?

mrhyde69 Wrote:

Code:

# mount the destination, we don't need to fsck as this is an ext3 partition
mount /dev/sdb2 dst

# mount the source
fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2
mount -t hfsplus  /dev/sda2 src

is what the guide says...so it looks like the src partition is /dev/sda2 and the usb partition is /dev/sdb2....is there something I'm missing here?

davilla Wrote:That looks fine.

"df" will show you the size and capacity of the mounted partitions.

liquidinsect Wrote:Since I wasn't getting much help here I figured this out with trial and error and decided to spell it out for anyone else wondering the same thing. Here is how I was able to write the image to a blank hard drive:

-Boot up your ATV with the image written to a USB stick first

-Log in via SSH and run:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda

-Once that is done reboot for the ATV to update the list of partitions

-Back in SSH run:
sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo nano /mnt/com.apple.boot.plist

-Change the entry with /dev/sdb3 to /dev/sda3

-Remove the USB stick and reboot. You should be running completely off HDD now. If you have problems (like I did) try running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda to blow away any partitions that may have been on the drive previous and start the whole process over. Good luck.

• Does it support BCM70015 without compiling latest crystalhd drivers?
  
• Does it play 1080p mkv files (VC-1 and H.264) without any problem?
  
• Is there a simple tutorial to install directly the image on the hard drive?
  
• Is it possible to modify X.org config to display @ 1920x1200?

I have a few questions before installing this version (I read the last pages but couldn't get these details) :

Thanks!

fl0w Wrote:Finally I got some answers from this topic and other ones.
To share the answer :
1- Yes BCM70015 is supported by compiling latest crystalhd drivers and libraries
2- One big problem, I got a green overlay during HD playback. I got r34731 version and I tried Crystal HD with SVN ( http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ )3- I followed two mini howtos from this topic
4- 1920x1200 is automatically supported by X.org
