FOUND IT!
Since the software works with others, I began to suspect the hardware. I use my 1A smartphone PSU for power. I measured the voltage at the GPIO pin and that gave me 4.8V.
Having read previous posts about the rather critical voltage requirement I than powered it up with another PSU. That one measured 4.92VDC at GPIO pins and guess what: Xbian actually started.
Strange that the raspbian software did not have these problems. But as I stated before I read numerous threads about the critical voltage requirement, so the 4.8V is probably just on the edge of working/not working
I´d say this thread can be closed as solved.
My suggestion is to make a link in the download page for a 32bit installer, or add some info how to dd the linux source on a linux system.
And many many thanks for all your support.
Oh and surely I am going to connect my wireless keyboard/mouse and hook it up to the internet, The info was just put in a previous post to give you as much info about my setup as possible.
Thanx Again I´l now have a look at Xbian and all of its features.
