I left it for 15 minutes, and nothing changed.

I tried it in virtual box, same problem.
I tried it in the dell e4300 same problem
I tried in the asrock, worked perfectly!

No idea what is the diff, let me know if I can help.

[lcapriotti]

debug log, pls!

debug log, pls!

Hm, I used a CD, not sure I can get debug log for from that?

Since the Asrock made me a working USB installer, I guess I should try to use that on the dell?

[vikjon0]

Ok, this should be the log

One time working, one time not. To get it to work I pulled the persistent meter down to almost nothing. Not sure if you can calculate what is the actual max but it is at least a workaround.

I have been doing some work on a pxe installer with the idea to use it with xbmc, but I am struggling with the xbmc installer cd part. Any interest?

I am trying to create a bootable USB stick and getting error. I have booted from the XBMC Live CD and trying to run BDW.

I have created a bootable USB stick using unetbootin. I have been able to boot from the stick and xbmc runs, but have not tested anything yet.

Is it safe to assume that when I created the USB stick using unetbootin, it did not create the permanent storage file and thus the changes made to the system (OS) will not be saved? But for installing into HDD using this USB stick, it should not be any different than installing into HDD from a USB stick made from BDW?

[lcapriotti]

You can install even if the permanent storage file is not in place.

@a931048: newer version on official repo should fix your issue. I would appreciate if you could try it.

[a931048]

Is anything out after beta 3? Or you are talking about SVN version.

I was able to install to HDD from the USB stick created from unetbootin. However it was asking for cdrom and I had to follow these steps http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=626...stcount=10

Not sure if this is required for a BDW created usb stick. I do not have a cdrom.

you can get the updated BDW from XBMC itself, just force an update of the addons.
The issue with the installer is related to an earlier unetbootin version - I have not tested it myself, some forums posts point into that direction.

Tried using Dharma Live Beta 4 image. Installing to USB stick failed in the create bootloader step. Here is the debug log. http://pastebin.com/QfTFasny
