Is it necessary to boot from USB?
Just got a Pi. I installed RaspBMC and it randomly rebooted so that had to go. I found Xbian and installed using SD card but just after the first boot up, I was browsing videos in an addon called KidzPlace and Xbian dropped to TTY and said Xbian login:
weird... I've got a brand new Sandisk 16GB class 10 HC ultra 30MB.s SD card. I feel like my experiences with Linux in the past (ubuntu and arch) have proven to be amazingly stable. I'm baffled why I'm having stability issues with this. Anyhow... I wonder if it is necessary to employ a USB stick with my setup. If so, are there OFFICIAL step by step instructions on doing so? I saw the USB thread but honestly, at this point, I'm rather discombobulated and need something straight forward. Thanks! |

RE: Is it necessary to boot from USB?
I would see this issues is caused by PSU, as the XBMC is more power demanding than Linux OS systems

RE: Is it necessary to boot from USB?
1) Check the output of your power supply - it must be 1amp or more. A normal phone charger is usually 500ma which is not enough.
2) Check the quality of your lead - all things are not equal - read USB leads 3) Try a slower SD card - class 4 or 6 (2G should be enough) Some class 10 ultras can cause problems. 4) Install Xbian 1 Beta 2 Beta2 and try that. 5) Send output from dmesg (See my signature Please read before you post) 6) USB installation is simple if you are on Beta 2 - already in ssh xbian-config Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.
