I'm not a Linux nerd, but I'm an old school hacker and XBMC user since 2004. I had some problems getting Broadcom's Crystal HD working with XBMCBuntu, so I thought I'd share the links and information for getting it working, sparing you from the hours I already endured.
1. Install XBMCBuntu to the hard drive.
2. Follow the steps posted here: http://code.google.com/p/indicator-cryst...talHDHowTo
(only follow the steps listed under "Crystal HD driver (0.9.30) installation for Ubuntu")
Don't run "make" yet...
3. Use the code in this post to fix one of the files: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...#pid653927
If you don't know how to use that code (I didn't know what it was), then manually edit the "driver/linux/crystalhd_lnx.c" file. You want to remove the text "__devexit" that occurs around lines 493 and 577.
4. Now go ahead with "make" from step #2.
5. Congratulations, but it still doesn't work. Running this command fixes it: "dpkg-reconfigure crystalhd-dkms" (source: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130249)
6. Crystal HD should be automatically enabled and also appear as an option under the XBMC settings (under 'video', I believe).
If you know of a better or easier process, please feel free to add to this thread. This is by no means an elegant solution.
