OpenELEC 2016/8/6 doesn't boot at all on OPiPC

I'm not able to get booting image OpenELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20160806192003-r22886-g5828aec-opipc.img (md5sum:d9b6....f8b3) on OPiPC. Older versions worked on first run. I was unable do manual update update with update file too.

Any hints? Any known issues?

I disconnected all USB devices and ethernet cable and OPiPC booted without problem.

It looks like it doesn't like USB hub with card reader http://www.aliexpress.com/snapsh ... erId=75941769556683

Card reader http://www.kingston.com/us/flash/readers/fcr-mrg2 prevents booting too

If your USB hub has a card reader, it can mess up device numbering which are important during boot. Currently I don't have my OPi at hand, so if you know how, you might play with boot.scr a bit. Important paramters are:
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2

Instead of dev, it could also be set with LABEL or UUID, like
boot=LABEL=label1 disk=LABEL=label2

That way, it doesn't matter how much card readers you have connected during boot.

Should not be usb storage labeled as /dev/sdX? Nothing related to mmcblk (which is Android convention), rather linux scheme.

In my cace
Because the file boot.scr read change from opipc.fex to script.bin
monitor setting change and doesn't display monitor
but boot success
