I really like you bud sometimes you are making me crazy.

Ahh shucks

As I mentioned - I upgraded via xbian-config as I believed we were only polishing and not still scrubbing. I was acting like any normal user!!

If this will be normal behavior once released, to have to install any held back packages, then, that will have to be included in xbian-config, as we cannot expect users to know any different.

However, once I upgraded and reinstalled the held back packages the system is back and looks good.

I did have a panic when it failed to boot (Stuck on loading), but that was because somewhere in the upgrade process it changed cmdline.txt and removed root=/dev/sda1 in favour of root=/dev/mcblk0p1. This might be worth checking as some users will be booting off of a Flash Card or similar.

1) Wifi works - but only with eth0 unplugged. Once setup, both will work together (but not recommended)
2) USB Keyboard error -71 seems to be a power related issue.
3) Backup in ssh xbmc-config doesn't seem to be working. Ran the command and checked for the image file but nothing was there. neither was gzip running.
4) CPU usage seems much better than previous releases.
Based on TV with AC3 encoder and allowed about 2 minutes to settle down.
Idle - 10 - 25%
Music - 15%
1080 DTS 70%
1080 AC3 50%
720 DTS 55%
720 AC3 20%
avi 20%
mp4 40%

5) USB external disk drives mount and are accessible.
6) CEC message is still there but only once - not multiple times.
7) Superrepo shows blank entries.
8) xbian-bridge still respawning - no determinable reason.

All in all looking VERY good.
