missing kernel or system migrating from Openelec

chris66 · October 18, 2016 at 4:10 PM

Trying to migrate from Openelec, putting the rar file (130Mb) in the update directory, I restart, get the message find new update, unzipping, and then got this message "missing kernel or system".
Did I miss a point? Thanks, Chris

More than a single one

Which hardware are you using?
Which OE version do you want to migrate from?
Which build did you download?

Most likely you tried to migrate to LibreELEC using the wrong .tar file.
We'll need lots more details as DaVu already pointed out.

Hi, sure I've dowloaded the wrong file, LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-7.0.2.tar fors Raspberry Pi I presume...

I've seen this on the wiki, Manual Update / Migration from OpenELEC (.tar) but haven't seen that this was only for the Raspberry Pi . So I have Intel based PC and I could not find a file for my system. I try to migrate from the latest available release of OE 6.03 I think.

For an Intel based box you need to use LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.0.2.tar

Ok, tried it but exactly the same message: "missing kernel or system"

How old is the OE release? How much space do you have on the boot device?

Yeah, chris66, you didn´t answer my questions. So please get us the info I have asked for. See:
