Installed XBMC via instructions on the first page using XCI on a Acer Aspire Revo last night. I installed it to a 4GB SD card with the following partition table:
/boot 100MB ext2
/var 250MB ext2
/ 3.x GB XFS
no swap partition. Now so far so good, everything runs as it should, am able to use the system and hdmi audio works by default (after running that part of the XCI script).
Upon bootup, I have a couple of aesthetic concerns that Ive attempted to resolve with no luck.
First, after the Acer splash, grub prints "Grub Loading." Guh. silent is being passed, not so silent.
Next it prints a warning that vga=788 modeline is deprecated, use setgfxpayload-800x600x16,800x600. fair enough, seems fine, i go into the grub configuration source files, make the change, re-run update-grub, and i see the changes in grub.cfg. Great! Reboot. The depricated command message is gone! At this point im happy, one small annoyance gone.
HOWEVER, once booted back into XBMC HDMI audio no longer works!
The video mode is being set appropriately, everything else seems to work normally, just no audio via HDMI. Changing this setting back to the deprecated setting works great, audio magically fixes itself, but of course i still get that ugly alert
Any ideas?
