there are lot of updates since June, in DEVEL and STAGING too.

currently blocked packages are those (should not be more)

Code:

Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  libpam-systemd libsystemd-daemon0 libsystemd-journal0 libsystemd-login0 systemd

if you add "partswap" parameter to kernel command line it should work the same way as on RPI. shrink rootfs and create swappartition.

it wasn't (and isn't) the default (on RPI is) but with recent version of xbian packages it should work ok.
(you need one reboot with initramfs for that to work which is by default not used. edit /etc/default/xbian-initramfs and set FORCEINITRAM=yes)

((for partswap to work - create swap partition - your root= needs to be last partition on you boot drive)).

regarding the Debian Jessie stuff, I was in touch with Steve Langasek from Debian (maintainer of upstart and related stuff) and he just confirmed that it is question of time only - and will (must be) resolved before Jessie goes public. So policykit-1 will not force systemd as init system.

I've tried stopping/starting zram-swap but nothing is allocated.

I guess it's a little bit more complicated than a normal swapon/swapoff. But could that method be used instead to allocate a swapfile?

let's see the swapfile on FS as a last resort. the function is still there, only it was turned off by default.
edit /etc/default/zram-swap and SWAPFILE= parameter.

(but again, "swappart" parameter should be way to go)

my cubox-i arrived today an i think xbian a good solution as os. But i had some Problem.

After the boot-screen from solid-run i had a black screen.
I used a 24" PC-Monitor with hdmi to dvi cable.
I tried different resolution in the uEnv.txt but nothing help.

SSH and the other stuff worked.

Any Idee what i can do ?

I re-aded some patches from my testing DVI branch https://github.com/mk01/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/tree/DVI a while ago. they should provide minimal DVI support. try kernel from STAGING linux-image-3.10.30-armmp_1.1.0-1-1407266060 .

Ethernet light doesn't blink anymore when booting...

did you find reason for not to boot ?
