Full Version: Where is config.txt in RC3?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi,

I have 2 pi's with Xbian RC3 on them, one has config.txt and other files under /boot, but the other pi has no files at all in /boot.

I need to add to the config file of the pi that has nothing in /boot...... I have done a search for config.txt with winscp and it's not found it! - So where is it please?

Skywatch,
First check that your /etc/fstab has the following entry and add it if it's not there already:
Code:
/dev/mmcblk0p1        /boot                   xbian   rw,nobootwait                              0       1

Then mount it manually if it is not currently mounted:
Terminal
sudo mount -a
or
Terminal
sudo mount /boot
I had the following in /etc/fstab......
#
#
#
/dev/root /home xbian subvol=home/@,noatime,nob$
/dev/root /lib/modules xbian subvol=modules/@,noatime,$
/dev/root / xbian noatime,nobootwait $
none /run/lock tmpfs noauto $
none /run/shm tmpfs noauto $
none /run/user tmpfs noauto $
UUID=8B12-9112 /boot xbian rw,nobootwait $

So I removed the last line above and replaced with the one you kindly suggested....and it works now!

Much thanks Menakite, it's so simple when you know how! Wink

A nice side effect is that it now boots *much* faster than before and without the restarts I was previously experiencing Smile

I wonder how this came to happen on only 1 pi, bit of a mystery really!

Hmm UUIDs should work in fstab, but it's possible that it was just wrong.
I don't know how it booted and worked, but it did.

Still, it is sorted out now, and one happy little pi!

Cheers

The bootloader doesn't care, it just takes the first FAT partition.
