By not having a system clock files will be written with a 1970 date which will confuse sort programs or thers which rely on timestamps.

Does this mean that running xbian without a network connection is not supported?

Can you go into xbian-config and set the service ntp to stop and not restart. Reboot and see if that improves things.

I disabled autostart of service 'ntp' and rebooted. No luck. Again i get "starting xbmc..." for over a minute during start, then "xbian login:", the finaly xbmc starts. In xbian-config service 'ntp' now has status 'stopped'.

can you test fix for similar situation contained in xbian-update version 1.0.2-10 or higher currently available on devel repo?

xbian-config -> System -> Network:
Interface eth0
Status DOWN
Mode DHCP

I will test the package and give you feedback.
