Just came from Openelec. Reboot issue - RPi 2

[Eric Lieberman]

I was using Openelec but after someone on the HDHomeRun forum said XBIAN worked a lot better I switched and have to say it does. It is much smoother in video playback and the addon bugs I had are gone. The one problem I have is reboot doesn't seem to work on my Raspberry Pi 2. When I reboot the system (ssh and via kodi reboot) all I get is a black screen, to actually reboot I have to pull the power and plug it back in. Is this normal?

[IriDium]

No this is not normal.... and it's possible the SD card has been corrupted because of this.

1) Is this a recent image?
2) Have you made any modifications?


If all is Ok, remove "splash" from /boot/cmdline.txt and try again. You should see a lot of system messages, it might then be possible to determine what is causing the error.

Sometimes it takes a bit longer to reboot (up to 2min). So please be patient

Ya that was it. Why does it take so long to reboot?!? Openelec rebooted in like 20 seconds (max).

cos you have a fully operational OS in behind and not just lightweight Kodi build

Usually one or some services are blocking fast shutdown/reboot.

File /var/log/upstart/upstart-ev.log may help to find the culprit

You should find start and stop of each service. Interesting value is last columm, this is time from last boot. So if one service blocks system you'll see a big time difference
