[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[mk01]

Ok, will not shorten the informations anymore.

initramfs if is needed needs to be part of /boot/config.txt file as firmware is loading this information or data into memory. the text inside code box is usual config.txt including initramfs definition.

Code:

initramfs initramfs.gz  0x00a00000
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=128
arm_freq=840
core_freq=275
sdram_freq=400
over_voltage=0

also file named initrmfs.gz should be present in /boot and with the .debs you installed its size should be ~6115k (6Mb). kernel.img ~2500k. then cmdline.txt holding kernel command line parameters - all in ONE line - and should look similar to raspbians , but with the two changes (rootfstype=btrfs and rootflags=subvol=root/@ - rootflags are bit longer but this is essential information to boot system later and start conversion now).

if you remove "quiet" "loglevel=0" from cmdline.txt you should see text rolling on the screen right after you start RPI. this can be important even if we don't understand the info but IF there is text going on we know kernel.img file is not damaged. if you have "quiet" and loglevel=0 we are not able to tell wheter kernel is wrong, or it froze on loading or it was booting but failed on other error later.

you wan't to rollback the whole card ?
