do you mind to test again increasing the 5 seconds delay to 10 or more?

Code:

while [ $count -le 5 ]

well, it seems this script is not even getting executed during boot - I've created a world writeable directory /test/, and put

Code:

count=1
while [ $count -le 30 ]
do
        echo "waiting for ALSA: $count" >> /test/startup.log
        if [ -e /proc/asound/cards ]; then
                echo "ALSA up!" >> /test/startup.log
                break
        fi

        sleep 1
        count=`expr $count + 1`
done

into /usr/bin/startxbmcbuntu right before

Code:

# Start the LXDE session
exec /usr/bin/lxsession -s XBMCbuntu -e LXDE

and no file has been created in /test/...
