Maybe it's time for beta 3? Or a another try to update my beta2

[mk01]

QA: doesn't matter. it is always just apt-get & dpkg at the end. Beta2 (and XBian's packages since beta2) was designed (also) for auto updating - meaning constant XBMC running with popup about reboot needed (changed libs, or binaries related to xbmc asking xbmc reload - as opposing to xbmc termination).

If boot gets corrupted, you can take this .zip archive of boot http://xbian.brantje.com/others/boot20131206.zip . you won't be able to load additional modules after boot, but it makes possible to reinstall kernel package and general maintenance on XBian.

But in your case this doesn't make sense much as there is something very very wrong and any attempt to reinstall .deb again will fail (at least it looks this way). Unfortunately I have no idea what.

btw: you posted on Dec-1st that you solved the problems finally (the original OOM problem). what happened ? can you provide remote ssh session to fresh reflash of img B2 for me to look a bit ? otherwise have no other ideas currently.
