it was me. it's like two devices. with card of max 4mb/s writing you will simply froze / halt system with each fs buffers flush for seconds.

btw: your error is reminding me of issues which are reason for "nohdparm" as default parameter in cmdline.txt.

try it. also be sure you perform full fsck.ext4 -py check on UNMOUNTED filesystem.

it is a little tricky on Alpha5 without having linux comp to put SD card into, but could be done.

but you know the steps as we I remember our discussion about fsck 2 months ago ?

the problem is that I often run apt-get update & upgrade, but it doesn't update from alpha to beta and I don't have an automatic way to check if something new came out. I forgot to check on xbian site.

don't feel sorry - nobody's bad. this is an apt-get design not including packages (even newer!) if their dependency list changed. so it will be listed, but as "packages being kept back". even xbian-config wasn't considering them (being fully dependent on apt-get output).

anyhow, don't go for Beta1x. If you don't feel any argue to update, skip it.
