Beta 2 – Latest upgrades + staging.

From 2G SD card boot, created an .img file via ssh xbian-config to an external NTFS drive. Image file creation ended normally. (Or so it said)

Used this image to flash a new 2G SD card with Win32diskimager.

Booted the RPi – all lights came on but wouldn’t boot. Flashing cursor in top left corner (Tried twice, same results).

cmdline.txt and config.txt look Ok, so removed the # from initram in config.txt, but all that happened was that it then wouldn’t boot at all – only red light.

Read the original SD card with Win32diskimager and created an image with that.

There was a difference in size. Xbian = 1665M Win32 = 1982M.

Couldn’t use the Win32 image as it was too large for the SD card.

Any idea what could be happening here?

The system is 69% full using df –h.

Retried with a fresh Xbian 2 no staging this time, upgraded. System 54% full. Wrote a .img as before. Rewrote the image to SD card and rebooted. Worked just fine.

So, tried again on the Staging SD card. Removed some files, space now 55% - wrote img as before and retried.

Same results. So looks like something is amiss in the staging repo
