I Got It!

Right - it seems that picking mini-menu from the initial boot does result in a hang. Rebooting required me to put in a new user, but it did create my first user, as I couldn't use the same name. Picking the X-based default does work. Looks awesome!

Congratulations. Bit odd not having the TV-out cable, I thought they were stockpiled already.

WOW, excellent news.

Enjoy, and please give an in depth review when you have the time. Was it worth the wait? How do the controls feel? Ect.

First boot is a bit slow, thought it was hanging

This was supposed to be done in the "factory"..

Right - it seems that picking mini-menu from the initial boot does result in a hang.

Yeah unfortunately you need to select xfce desktop first and install this, then minimenu should work. Later units are supposed to come with the fix.

 

[skeezix]

You need the hotfix.. The kernel you have has a bug that causes the hang if you boot and thendont touch for 2 mins or so

hotfix fixes that. Or don't not touch it

hang shouldn't bork anything though

Can boot minimenu, just hit the hotfix pnd fast

 

[shunun]

fuck this is awesome...

Neither ED nor the official website described the crashing minimenu upon first boot as a problem that is fixed by the hotfix, so I can see where the confusion comes from.

If other Pandoras are also being sent out with that bug, it may be a good idea to include a piece of paper inside the case with a note saying "don't choose minimenu when you first start"... not everyone will see this thread...
