I'm running a Acer Aspire Revo 3600. I've installed 9.11B1 and 9.11B2 via unetbootin and toporesize and detailed by l.capriotti in the post below. I've had the results talked about below with both Beta 1 and Beta 2.

The install went great. XBMC ran good for me with a few minor sound issues. I opened alsamixer and un-muted everything. I issued a "sudo alsactl store" command and rebooted. When I went back in, the changes I made to alsamixer were gone and it was back to its default. I tried this again logged in as root. Same results. I gave up on that and moved on to trying to get my machine to resume from standby with a USB remote.
I used the echo USB0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup command and then double checked it with cat /proc/acpi/wakeup. I then tested it by putting it to sleep and resuming it with the remote. It worked great. I finished that up by modifying the rc.local file. I saved it and rebooted. When I checked it after reboot, the file was back to it's default and my changes were gone. I tried the same thing again as root. Same results.
I was then recommended I try a "touch test.txt" test to create an empty text file in the root (using putty). I rebooted and the file was gone. I tried this logged in as root. Same results. All changes made inside XBMC remain. I was also recommended to try installing B1 and B2 from the Live CD. This install seems to go well, until I try to boot from the created USB. I get a grub error 17 every time.
Do I have to install Live to the hard drive to get it to allow my to make any linux file changes? Does anyone have any ideas how to make this work?
Thanks in advance.
