What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. if you encountered the problem that ATV boots up but will not mount the USB
drive, here is a workaround that worked for me:
I used ftp to get the stuff into ATV and ran it locally. here is how I did it:
1. install on your Windows PC FileZilla server (http://filezilla-project.org).
2. Start the service.
3. Make sure no Firewall is active! Windows tends to turn it on on every
session.
4. In FileZilla Server Interface create an FTP account and direct it to some
local directory in your PC (say C:\tmp).
5. Copy the the entire directory structure to the directory you have just
defined (this includes: patchstick.sh and payload/.. ). I packed it with 7Zip
as a tar file: atv.tar (may I suggest the developers to provide this small tar
file instead of teh need to find a linux machine to read the image...)
6. Plug the Patchstick USB in your ATV. After the boot completed with an error
it reports on starting telnetd. telnet to your ATV with root/root. I used PuTTY.
7. cd /mnt/rootfs
8. get the tar file from your PC: ftpget -u <username> <IP of your PC> atv.tar
atv.tar
9. Extract: tar xvf atv.tar
10. you should now see the payload directory and patchstick.sh. I recommend to
edit the patchstick.sh and comment out the 2nd and 3rd lines that redirect all
output to your ATV screen. This way you will see all errors on your local
window.
11. run: ./patchstick.sh
Good luck!
Long, but working.
Thanks to the developers for a nice patching!
