first boot recovery console
When I first try to boot Xbian 1.02, it drops me into the recovery boot console. It says "Mounting root partition /dev/mmcblk0p2 failed".
I tried ifconfig eth0, and it recognized my network settings, but then when I exited it just gave me a whole log of rm's with permission denied. So I'm unclear how to proceed. |

RE: first boot recovery console
So I think I've figured it out the image has 2 partitions which is fine and good. But the first partition has a type of FAT32. So I just changed the type to FAT16 and now it's looking better.

RE: first boot recovery console

RE: first boot recovery console
Hello,
Unfortunately I also have the same problem. This is also my first start with the Raspberry Pi. Perhaps it'd be easier to start with NOOBs but this version made me curious. I found the config file and it looks like this: initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000 gpu_mem_512=128 gpu_mem_256=128 initial_turbo=1 disable_splash=1 arm_freq=840 core_freq=275 sdram_freq=400 over_voltage=0 Which lines should I delete or alter? I'd be grateful if lukeg01 could explain this a bit. My 2nd partition already was fat16. So I can rule the 1st suggestion out. Vera |

RE: first boot recovery console
@jloh How id you install Xbian? Installer, Windiskimager32 or DD - none of what you did should be necessary.
@lukeg01 That should not be necessary. Xbian OC is very slight. It should NOT affect the boot UNLESS you have a weak power supply < 1amp @metalmama The best way to change the OC is to ssh into you RPi and change it in xbian-config. To all - it seems like either an installer issue or a power issue. If after checking both and you still have problems, when you get to a shell, try and post the output of the command "dmesg" via pastebin as requested in Please read before you post Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

RE: first boot recovery console
Thanks for the response IriDium, though I only understood half of it. However it did make me decide to use a (new) SD-card. And this time I was in luck. Though it got stuck at resize fs (from which I read it was a bug) it came alive after a reboot.
So now the time for playing with it has come. I thought it'd be polite to let you know it worked out in the end. Vera |

RE: first boot recovery console
@metalmama We always love feedback and as you say it is a polite gesture and always welcome.
As a new user - I would double check your power supply. It has to be a good 1amp. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

RE: first boot recovery console
i didn't had a bad supply, was the first thing i tried, my config looks like this
initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000 gpu_mem_512=128 gpu_mem_256=128 then it just worked |

RE: first boot recovery console
@lukeg01 If that worked for you then fine.
However, if that is your config.txt then you are running without any OC. Try adding via ssh xbian-config, the next OC one up and reboot and see it that works. If not, then it could be a SD card issue. Do you have a Model B with 512Mb or a model A with 256Mb?
