[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[IriDium]

Raspbian install onto SD card.

My results!

Step 1) apt-get update gave warning

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://xbian.brantje.com/ stable/main armhf Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/xbian.brantje.com_dists_stable_main_binary-armhf_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Ignored.

Edited /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list NOT /etc/apt/sources.list (This step should be before the apt-get clean;apt-get upgrade

Step 2) Got error about package not found.

So did apt-get clean; apt-get update. Then it worked. The clean is required as we have modified the package details.

If you get error (1) it’s probably because you edited the wrong sources file.

Step 3) What cmdline.txt and config.txt should look like should be in post 1, not post 9!

Checked cmdline.txt – rootfs and root=LABEL were present.

Rebooted

Started VERY quickly.

So changed cmdline.txt to that in post 9

dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=1 sdhci-bcm2708.sync_after_dma=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=btrfs rootwait logo.nologo splash partswap

Removed quiet and loglevel

Rebooted.

Wouldn’t boot.

Kernel panic - Not syncing No init found!

Post 11 states initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000 should be in cmdline.txt – surely that should be config.txt

That’s as far as I got……
