Update: Dec 28. XBMC 9.11 live installer should be fixed now. I haven't tried it though. If you want to update xbmc to 9.11 this guide still applies.
Install XBMC:
1. Download XBMC 9.04
2. Burn the iso to a cd and then reboot your computer.
3. Boot from the live disk and select install to usb or hdd
4. Install xbmc to a 2.0gb usb stick or sd card.
5. After this is finished reboot again
6. Put your usb stick or sd in the revo and turn it on.
7. Push f12 and then select your usb stick or sd.
8. Install to your revo's hd.
9. once installed reboot and see if everything works.
Update XBMC:
1. If everything is working in xbmc go to the terminal by pushing crtl-alt- f2
2. login
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get upgrade
5. sudo apt-get remove xbmc-common
6. sudo apt-get install xbmc "This should install xbmc 9.11"
7. sudo apt-get -f install "to fix any conflicts"
8. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade "This should update your skins"
9. Either exit XBMC to the terminal or kill it.
10. Go to nvidia's website and download the newest drivers for ION
11. Move it to your revo's home directory
12. Then type "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run"
13. Follow the install menu.
14. After it finishes run apt-get update again just to make sure everything is updated.
15. Reboot.
16. Enjoy XBMC 9.11
Make sure in xbmc the video render is set to VDPAU.

It'll install the new Camelot 9.11 onto the Revo and the guide should apply to all newer installs of XBMC Live whenever they get released.
