Install first onto the SD card, when the process is complete and running, THEN move to the USB drive via xbian-config.

If you still have problems, then it might be because of 256M. Check the mem values in /boot/config.txt

Hi,

I think that my SDCard has to be replaced due to the number of try.
I'm not able anymore to follow the procedure on SDCard only due to apt-get install which get stuck at xbian-package-kernel.

If you have any suggestion....

With the usb hdd partition this works. What I can say for sure is that the rm ... operation not permitted were obtained on the Sdcard full installation too in one of my lasts try.

I'll try without converting the partition type and watch also the memory split and get back with the results.

Thanks

By default I don't have any memory config in the config.txt.

Is this normal ?
