hyperion flickering on xbian but not raspbmc - kavil - 26th Aug, 2014 07:00 AM
Hi, I wanted to moved from the very slow raspbmc to xbian, I have ws2801 LEDs connected to the spi and I get a very weird flickering of random colours on xbian, but this does not happen on raspbmc, this flickering also occurs on openelec.
Please can someone help me solve this issue, thank you

What are the kernel versions you use on each distro?

Can you remove the initramfs line from config.txt?

initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000
this one?
I removed that now I just get a blank screen

Hmm, dammit.
Can you make a backup of the current initramfs.gz and restore the initramfs.gz.old?

Can you use these files to restore the boot partition:

okay it gets a little further into the boot now, it goes up to starting xbmc, but will stay at this for about 2 minutes and then load of writing will come up and it will come up with starting xbmc again
RE: hyperion flickering on xbian but not raspbmc - CurlyMo - 27th Aug, 2014 03:21 AM
That's because of a kernel mismatch.
Try installing:
Code:
apt-get install xbian-package-kernel=1.3-6.20RE: hyperion flickering on xbian but not raspbmc - kavil - 27th Aug, 2014 04:01 AM
Great!! booting up fine and hyperion is working flawless, do you think this is the only solution to this problem? or is there going to be an update soon?
