By virtue, that it occurs "seconds after booting" - your words, it's likely to be something occurring before xbmc can start.

Can you first read (You should have done this first! http://forum.xbian.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=54

and then follow the instructions to post debug logs

Well I am in the S/W industry for over 15 years now and of course I get your statement, but I also think you should know that modern OS's do thousands of things per second even when idle and there is always a chance that something goes wrong. Just like the fact that hardware runs on smoke - when the smoke escapes, the hardware is broken. In your 20 years experience, I am sure you have encountered Murphy's law countless times, no doubt about that. You get the point.

I am a Linux newbie so I didn't know of the tools you mentioned here, thanks for that. I must admit I posted kinda in the heat of the moment, but I thought I'd done quite some effort to post useful information. I'll checkout the debug logs next time something goes wrong.

In the meanwhile, I just did a clean install of Beta 1 and upgraded to 1.1.
Apart from some small things I have to figure out, we're able to relax and watch a movie or series again.
