Xbian on ext4 file-system??

BTW, I used xbian-config to clone the root partition to USB stick and then changed to root=/dev/sda1 in the cmdline.txt but Xbian doesn't boot after that. All I get a blank screen and a cursor at the top left corner. Is there still anything that I'm missing? Using latest Beta2. Cheers!!

this looks like boot is stopped (or slow) and console is on different terminal (check console= setting in /boot/cmdline.txt or at the time you see cursor ALT+F1.....F12 on keyboard).

from what ever configuration files in linux, cmdline is not a configuration file literally. it is "command line - options" passed to kernel during start (what should be one line).

how is your codlin.txt processed check with

Code:

cat /proc/cmdline

there you will see how kernel got the file changed/processed.

Anything not normal here? Cheers!!

remove - splash, loglevel=0, quiet.

check that first line of /boot/config.txt reads:

Code:

initramfs ...........
