Fresh install on Laptop not booting up past the Splash Screen.

  • I'm trying to revive an old-ish laptop for my mother to act as an media center.

    Laptop Model : Toshiba S50D-A - with an 240Gb SSD on it. Was working perfectly fine with other linux distro before.

    Install Log (The Only Log I could find) :

    Tried 2 Differents Usb key installed from two different computer. Since I never booted to it I can't SSH to gather other info.

    I can install it without issue, but when rebooting I get stuck at the spash screen, no error message (Only "LibreELEC (official): 9.2.0)

    I did some research but didnt found anything.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if not please point me in the right direction.

    Any Idea?

  • Use advancedsettings.xml to activate log level 2 (copy the content of "Example 1").

    This should create a useful kodi.log at boot time.

    I will try this evening, thanks for the advice!

    Early/ier AMD graphics cards are a handful when it comes to gpu support. AMD HD8550, is it?

    Like a lottery: some work, some don't.

    Yep, discrete GPU HD8550, I hope it will not be the case but I can't say I would be surprise If this is the issue
