Initially after a Fresh install I booted the RPI, soon as the Xbian logo appeared from the splash screen this was stuck on FS screen resize. Fortunately after another reboot this began to boot up properly into XBMC for setting up.

I can confirm this issue exits also on the Windows installer (Windows 7 - 64 bit). On the first boot the system gets stuck on 'FS resize' screen. After a manual power disconnect the system will boot again into XBMC.

This did not feel right on a fresh install so I tried the image from sourceforge.net with the win32diskimager and the system booted like it should.

My road to success for a fresh beta 2 (maybe it can help you):

I faced two error's on the way.

1. Installed the Xbian Beta 2 image by win32diskimager
2. Restored my previous XBMC data with the Add on: XBMC backup (personal step and not required)
3. SSH into Xbian and go to update. Follow the steps chronological
4. From SSH xbian-config run 'check deb upgrades - run apt-get upgrade' unit you get the error with setting up autofs 5.0.7-3
5. Reboot your system
6. Your system will get in a loop 'starting XBMC'
7. Run 'check deb upgrades - run apt-get upgrade' again until all packages are update.
8. Reboot your system
9. Everything works like it should.

Thank to the entire team for this great software! Especially to mk01 for the hardcore development and Iridium for all his forum support!

Thanks, that seems to have worked. And I agree, thanks to everyone who has contributed to development and provided support on the forum.
