Reboot loop after XBMC nightly install on Raspbmc

After installing a XBMC nightly on Raspbmc and choosing to restart the system, it went into a loop. XBMC would repeat “Relax XBMC is restarting” endlessly.

Of the many solutions offered online, this worked for me.

1. SSH into Raspbmc as user pi. Only XBMC is stuck in a loop, so this means that the underlying Raspbmc Linux OS is still running and accessible. This is the reason you can SSH to it.

2. rm ~/.xbmc-current

3. Reboot the system.

Tried with: Raspbmc RC5 and XBMC rbp-20121231
