That would be strange as this sounds like the original (old/fixed) start issue.
And I would not claim it is working if I would not have tested. On an encrypted X. Updated to 4.0.1.48.
Also I do not see a difference between X and XA2 in this regard.
And also the possible difference in the admin user name (nemo/defaultuser) did not cause the boot loop.
Can someone else please confirm/deny this?
