Needless to say - I didn't bother going any further.

the warnings are not relevant, but missing "/dev/root" is odd, it would make the system boot, but not start xbmc and many services failing.

I put a test into package-config-shell to search for root device if link /dev/root is missing, but this will not solve the real problem.

link "/dev/root" is there since beta2. could it be that by accident you booted beta2 partition/subvolume with beta1X initramfs ?

…. or you was just upgrading from beta1X? then it was clearly a bug and was corrected )

colleagues,

I would need feedback whether

1) dhcp work for IriDium
2) spaces in SSID/KEY
3) test with working WIFI stick - boot without plugged eth0 - and without unconfigured wifi - xbmc should be started and should allow wifi configuration through config-xbmc.
4) config-xbmc - update on available packages to upgrade with the "update all" (or whatever is the option called)
