Frustrated.
I have played around with GeexBox a bit and XBMC even less, but seeing as I have this box thought id have a chop at building a MC.
So I managed to get a bit of a franken-box together, I have tried a few different configurations but at the moment there is 8 GB of ram (just because I had it) and a 1 TB HDD with an intel core i3. I have partitioned the hdd to 1 * 10GB partition using ext4 with the rest as unpartitioned space for the time being. I should probably mention that the HDD is a WD green, however I wrote a large file to the desktop and tried to open xbmc within 8 seconds with the same result.
When the machine boots after install, the propper xbmc logo appears and the dots come one for a little while, then the wheels fall off , the screen looks like its stretched out too far, it spits the xbmc backround 'bubbles' up for a second, then a different xbmc logo with 'Frodo 12.1' under it, back to bubbles, back to frodo, then the login screen for xbmcbuntu.
This is just the latest configuration in 3 days worth of stuffing around., the error logs are the same.
here is the boot up error log from the 600 millionth time I have installed this weekend.

I have stretched my linux knowledge to the maximum here having installed the emacs and gdb packages, I also ran all the updates/upgrades.
Here is the lasted error log, complete with stack trace thanks to gdb, although I'm not sure how useful that will be.

Any help you guys could give would be much appreciated by both me, and the wife who is wondering quite vocally why this 'quick install then I'll be out to help' has taken several days.
