It's been at 'init process' now for about half an hour.... is this normal?

Skywatch, probably you hit the same bug as IriDium with emptying the cmdline.txt during update. No idea why it appeared now, because the code around its update has not changed for weeks. anyhow I changed it to work again for you to fix, just copy /boot/cmdline.default (or /boot/cmdline.new whichever exists) over /boot/cmdline.txt - do it on other PC or hold down shift on keyboard during start and on command prompt "cp /boot/cmdline.default /boot/cmdline.txt)

then after reboot "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update"

On Beta 1.1 (fresh install) in xbian-config - check for system updates. 1) Update mirrors, 2) update - shows http://xbian.brantje.com as the Xbian mirror.

This is new to me

/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt wheezy main

Is this correct??????????

@mk01 This is a Beta 1.1 issue not Beta 1.2

[mk01]

yes, it is correct. mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt is no real target for deb packages. it just contains a list of mirrors. then when apt-get is going to download the packages, it will look for the list and choose one of the records.

so it is ok if you see brantje.

this is currently the list of sites holding packages for xbian

I've just tried on Beta 1.2 and it's the same issue. Say's it's been updated - then go back intp xbian-config and all the updates are still there.

[mk01]

and is your xbian-package-config-shell in version 2.1.4-10 ?

if yes, check md5sum

but you can check the version with apt-cache policy and md5sum from ssh. ... no ?
