Apple TV 2 - lowtide boot loop
#1
HI, Running old IOSVers=4.2.1, Running XBMC Eden 11.0.. Was running for many many months with no issues at all.

Out of nowhere, today the AppleTV 2 is doing this lowtide boot loop thing. Or is it frontrow?? The Apple menu will appear briefly, then after 1 second, go black, then repeat. I can connect via ssh. I do experience actual OS crashes every 5 minutes or so also then I can log in via ssh again.

I cleared and captured /var/log/syslog from a reboot, here it is:

Some other errors I saw in syslog/console earlier:
Appliance com.apple.frontrow.appliance.tv not loaded because it doesn't have any categories.

problem seems to be related to the "auto boot to xbmc" app ive been running for years

to stop constant boot to apple logo -> crash -> boot to apple logo loop, and bring up frontthingy for apple.

Code:
apt-get remove org.tomcool.xbmc-booter

now to see if
Code:
org.tomcool.kodi-booter
exists ??
