[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[mk01]

@coloxim

until you pass step 2 and 3, nothing relevant to boot process is changed. the error just mean input group already exists. I created

kernel 3.10.17 is raspbian. so there was nothing changed XBian packages yet.

I corrected that "input group already exists" and set the the process to change rootfstype to brtrfs to ask for conversion and also after successful conversion to change rootflags= parameter to be compatible with btrfs and FS layout. so the manual step of manipulating SD card should not be needed anymore.

Code:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootflags=subvol=root/@,autodefrag,compress=lzo rootfstype=btrfs partswap elevator=deadline rootwait

this difference is ok, important are the rootflags and rootfstype …

just wandering, why it doesn't boot. ach maybe one idea. there should be line

Code:

initramfs initramfs.gz  0x00a00000

in /boot/cmdline.txt .. without this root partition can't be processed in any way as kernel will try to boot directly by mounting it. but it should be set during the process kernel is unpacking and creating initramfs.gz file.
