I've just upgraded today without any issues. Are you running anything else on your machine?

As you can get to the login prompt, can you post the output of kodi.log and dmesg via http://www.pastebin.org

Something is wrong here, too, since updating two days ago.

It seems to boot fine and after being loaded and running for
about one minute it freezes. I scanned for new media and
bang, hang-up. Twice.

I will observe this the next days.

@syco As soon as it boots can you grab dmesg and kodi.log

Yeah, I'm having the same problem after upgrading.
But my problem happens after I've run flexget. System freezes and there's no way to login through SSH to restart it. Only way to restart is cutting the power cord. Never had this problem before.
Can't access logs because it just froze again and I'm at work.

@S47 Is your card also 4GB?


RE: XBMC doesn't start anymore after upgrade - S47 - 28th Feb, 2015 05:01 PM

No it's 8GB class 10 (forgot the brand) but can check when home.


RE: XBMC doesn't start anymore after upgrade - f1vefour - 28th Feb, 2015 05:05 PM

I was just making sure you haven't ran out of room. Are you writing to an external USB drive? Grab dmesg when you can.


RE: XBMC doesn't start anymore after upgrade - S47 - 28th Feb, 2015 05:10 PM

Ah yes, don't think so as it has been working fine for the past year. Yes have a 2 TB external drive attached. Sure will do that when home again. Thanks

I don't have any hardware problem so I don't think output of dmesg would be of any use but here you go: http://pastebin.com/Ct0TZAwH

As for kodi.log, it doesn't exist in /var/log/ and the only matching file revealed by a find / -name kodi.log is /home/xbian/.kodi/temp/kodi.log and it does contain some logs, but not from the current boot ??

BTW, I realized I was in the highest overclocking mode, which is weird since I remember setting it at xbian default level. That could explain a lot.

NB: the boot stops at 'Setting up X socket directories'

Here's my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/ZLbC9tci
And here's my kodi log leading up to the freeze: http://pastebin.com/ggAhcfxg
Reading through it now it looks like things turn south when loading pictures for the slideshow. My pictures for are located on my SD card and not my USB drive. Could it be my SSD card going corrupt? Again, I've never had any problems with this before.

It seems to me to be a bug in the Raspberry NIC driver.

Is there a fix?

Hi,

I have the same problem (freeze and kernel panic on screen).
I noticed the problem happens when Kodi do a library update scan. It never ends and 100% of the CPU is used until xbian crashes.

Yesterday I tried the workaround :
Terminal
root@xbian:~# echo 08 > /sys/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/regoffset
root@xbian:~# echo 0x31 > /sys/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/regvalue

and I installed back the kernel version 3.17.7-ck2+-1421550584 as mentionned in this forum : https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/691

But the problem happened again today...

EDIT : I have XBian 20150304-2 on a Raspberry Pi B+

EDIT 2 : i posted the message on the issue ticket so you can delete this message here (i couldn't delet it myself i have an error)
