tried everything but nothing worked....
1) install from live: getting "end_request: I/O error" upon installing GRUB
2) install via VirtualBox: same as 1)
3) install with unetbootin: seems to work but won't boot. since Babylon release changed to GRUB isn't this working anymore?
since this release is not really new i guess i'm making some stupid mistakes but maybe someone can give me some directions?
btw. tried 2different USB-sticks and a USB-HDD

Hi
I just tried to follow this guide, using Unetbootin on Windows and the XBMClive 9.11 Alpha1 iso.
But when it comes to his section of the guide:
open the file syslinux.cfg on the flash disk and replace all occurrences of "boot=cd" with "boot=usb"
I can't do anything since there is no mention of boot=cd in syslinux.cfg...
When I try to boot via the USB drive, I get a kernel panic saying it can't find any mountable filesystems.
Any idea what I need to change?

these instructions were related to previous releases, there would be no need to modify anything now. I will try it myself and update the post accordingly.

Im trying to get this going and all i get is a blank white screen.
I've done this with 9.04 and it was fine, but i want my 5.1 surround!
I downloaded 9.11 and loaded it with unet and installed to usb drive.
I then copy and pasted your suggested .cfg file into the one that was created on the usb drive.
Put the usb drive into the revo and used the boot menu to select it. it shows a line of text then goes to the white screen with a circle gradient.
any ideas?

I had the same problem.. I believe the 9.11 alpha 2 is broken, perhaps try another version..
In any case (and I haven't tried it myself as I switched to a full ubuntu installation + xbmc) apparently you can complete the installation by running installXBMC (or something similar) after you login using xbmc / xbmc .
