XBian hangs during boot showing "configuring network"

[menakite]

Yep. I investigated that issue a couple months ago, but I can't really remember the details. Some boards are more sensible than others w.r.t. to overclocking.

Anyways disabling overclock isn't really a solution, XBMC may probably suffer from this. I'm using a custom kernel with the "powersave" CPUFreq governor as default, i.e. it boots with overclock disabled but it can be enabled later (in my case, when XBMC starts).

Are you able to compile your own kernel?

@mk01 you probably want to read this thread.
