dvd drives have no mapping to sd* but sr* or cdrom. recheck.

@ramonskie

honestly, report result of 1 month old system is at least - not possible to recheck, reuse, make anything usefull out of it.
Only thing I can do is generate a new image when you don't want to upgrade.

Normally I would go to ask details to try to fix later, but honesty, what you are saying is that the cubox is unusable - I would throw it into trash as if a platform does that what you describe, it is weeks months of fixing or messed HW in in-reparable state. without any side intentions - what you say is quite inconsistent we other reports and quite much. That kind of state was the hw & sw let me think, mabe Feb, March?

Isn't possible you have short circuit somewhere ? sounds very similar. Otherwise, send ANY kernel log / xbmc, it must be something reported all over the place/time.
will provide the img in few minutes as build finishes.

Is there no pci support on xbian kernel??

lspci yields no results

there is a /proc/pci/devices output but I cannot setup a broadcom BCM94322HM8L wich has been plug n play on previous debian based systems

** Well done to all involved **

I've been using RC3 for a couple of weeks now and haven't come across any problems (bar the excessive hdmi debug messages in dmesg (posted elsewhere - possible RC2 thread))

So congrats to all involved, you never get the credit you deserve.

(Sods law will dictate I find an error 3 minutes after posting this )

@mk01

yes thats right, there is no mapping whether to sd* nor to sr* as you can see in the log files

Is this xbmc or kodi?

in image is XBMC
kodi is available with

Code:

ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda2

Code:

ls /dev/sr*
ls: cannot access /dev/sr*: No such file or directory

@didlich
ok, will check that - I should have USB DVDRW drive somewhere.

if the support is covered via B43 driver, then this wasn't included. changed .config. linux-image-3.14.28-armmp will be at DEVEL to test (after it recompiles).

(pushed now)

@didlich
test your cdrom issue with that kernel too please.

(easiest way is to uncomment DEVEL in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list, run

possibility is also:

if anyone has DVI monitor, please give me feedback if all ok with video output (modes). this kernel contains experimental 3D mode support and DVI wasn't tested after all the changes (of course no 3D on DVI but the changes can have effect on DVI). thanks.

@mk01, thanks for your effort

the link you posted didn't work, I used this one:

http://xbian.serveftp.net/pool/devel/imx6-jessie/l/linux-image-3.14.28-armmp/linux-image-3.14.28-armmp_3.0.0-1421115902_armhf.deb

now, the output of dmesg looks much better:

to play DVDs from XBMC I had to add the user to cdrom group:

after the restart of XBMC "DISC" menu appeared

very nice, thanks

when the linux-image-3.14.28-armmp dev will find its way to stable???

System stuck at
kernel log saying Loading.

i cloned into the repo and am attempting to follow the wiki directions but end up stuck at these steps everytime and nothing is working

then logged out and logged in


With latest kerrnel update I no longer have /proc/pci/devices showing
and lspci still yields me no results

@zarboz

building .img is only one process needing root rights (due to working with loop module & virtual storage devices) and I think the sudo is problem in that case. the actual "xbiangit" builder configs are loaded on session startup from /etc/profile.d/xbiangit.sh and with regular sudo call sudo is just providing UID/GID, it doesn't run standard login process. it should be possible if -i parameter is used to sudo...


to the kernel stuck problem - you use DVI or HDMI ?

IMX6 as whole is still still using STAGING but it is allowed by default for this platform (so you should have it allowed) and actually I already pushed it from DEVEL there.
By any chance don't you have 3D compatible TV to check if Kernel/XBMC is getting all the info correctly ?

Build seems fine now


as for the error:
I was plugged via HDMI

I have since reformatted and installed your updated kernel successfully but still do not get PCI results although the image is much more stable (still has some tearing on 1080p mkvs) on my Sony Television havent got a chance to try on my other television.

I was hoping to build from source so that I can try to patch up the kernel to have pci support for the device and test wifi. I will keep at it until I figure something out. Quitting is never an option
