Guys I think it would be better to use this from now on:

http://www.springydevelopment.co.uk/2009...mic-koala/

This tutorial is the best I have found so far, I have just installed it on my revo R3610 and it is booting very quickly, with splash screen (apart from the initial acer logo you couldn't tell it was being run on a PC/revo)

However if you look at the comments for the tutorial I linked to, alot of people are having problems with the usplash and xbmc stages. This is an easy fix, which the author has not implemented so make sure you do the following:

At the stage where you are adding sources to the /etc/apt/sources.list, you need to change the PPAs for xbmc to:

Code:
deb [url=http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu]http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu[/url] karmic main

deb-src [url=http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu]http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu[/url] karmic main

note the removal of the "karmic-" prefix so that it is now just "ppa" rather than "karmic-ppa" in both urls.

Do that and the rest is a breeze. Hope that helps.
