Problem description:
I have got a brand new Raspberry Pi and instead of the XBIAN Loading Screen for the installation on the raspberry than a blinking underscore on the top left corner of the screen. I can't do any keyboard input, it just keeps blinking all the time. The status lights of the Raspberry Pi are all on and the LINK-LED is blinking. This is directly happening after preparing the SD-Card with the installer and doing the first boot on the pi. After rebooting another time by resetting the powerconnection just the red light on the pi is on and the screen is kept black and the blinking underscore is not there any more.


How to reproduce:
1) Formatting the SD Card with the official formatter provided by sdcard.org using the "overwrite" option
2) Using the XBIAN installer to setup the SD-card
3) Putting SD-Card into the Raspberry pi and booting up
4) The blinking underscore shows up directly and nothing else happens


Logs:
This is the filestructure of the SD-Card after "running" the card once:
