To make it start in xbmc without having to enter login edit your grub.cfg file

file can be found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg

add "xbmc=autostart" in the linux line:

you should then have something like this here:

PHP Code:

linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic root=UUID=be4c38dc-b874-4a9f-b857-4a2c1f5f0a2e ro quiet splash xbmc=autostart 


You can edit it with the command :

sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg
save with ctrl+o and exit with ctrl+x

I have had the "no cd-rom" issue always, when installing xbmclive from usb.

My solution is to include the ISO file on the XBMCLive USB stick, and simply mount it, as a loop device when asked for the cd-rom.

Like this:

When asked for the cd-rom press ctrl-F2 to open a new shell.
type:
>> mkdir /mnt/usb
>> mkdir /mnt/iso
>> mount -t vfat /dev/sdXX /mnt/usb (sdXX is replaced buy the device name that is actually your usb disk. ie. sdb or sdc, it wont mount unless you get the corret one).
>> mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/usb/xbmc.iso /mnt/iso (xbmc.iso is replaced by the name of the iso file you put on the stick)

press ctrl-F1 to switch back to the installer, then select as follows:
Load CD-ROM driver from removable media? <No>
Manually select CD-ROM module and device> <Yes>
Module needed for accessing the CD-ROM: none
Device file for accessing the CD-ROM: /dev/loop0

and you are all set to go...

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

After trying for several hours to boot from USB I came across this and it worked like a charm! It's kind of a pain and I wish the installer was smart enough to look on the usb (ie. boot device) for the files, but until then, this worked great. Thank you!
