@mk01:
thanks for your advices...finally got beta 2 to boot to xbmc, but:
- no clock / date sync;
- no ssh connection possible (connection refused on port 22);
- system at first is controllable using Yatse;
- after few minutes or if you try looking at weather or at xbian config under system setup my installation breaks out of xbmc to the classical shell/login screen with a lot of:
modem-manager[pid]: <info> Loaded plugin Gobi...Nokia...Samsung...Huawei...Linktop...
I will try another restore to beta 1.2 and upgrade to beta 2 in order to eventually repeat this condition, maybe it could be helpful to other users...

Edit: same result after retry... :-(
