10.95.0 hangs on boot with manual upgrade

    System was running 10.0.0.4, and worked well. Manually switched upgrade channel to 11 and applied 10.95.0, and it will no longer boot.

    Sysloader boots fine

    error message: failed to initialize PTP_KVM

    hangs at : LibreELEC (official): 10.95.0

    System will reboot with a ctrl-alt-del

    Let it sit for 10+ minutes, no joy.

    Hardware:

    Lenovo Ideacentre Q150 Series 40814AU Desktop

    Intel Atom Processor 1.66GHz

    2GB SO-DIMM RAM

    250GB 5400RPM Hard Drive

    Nvidia ION GPU


    Reinstalled via USB key - LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-10.95.0

    still get the boot message: failed to initialize PTP_KVM

    Boots completes and Kodi runs fine.

    Code
    echo "blacklist ptp_kvm" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/ptp_kvm.conf

    This might suppress the warning ^ .. otherwise (as you discovered) nVidia GPUs require the Generic-Legacy image.

    Where and how do a I add this
    echo "blacklist ptp_kvm" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/ptp_kvm.conf

    nowe I got around the trying the command above, and it didn't work for me. I'll just live with the error. I believe it's occurring early in the boot process, due to the module being in the boot kernel. It would be a pain to update if I understand the process correctly. It's been a few years since I've rebuilt a kernel. To answer your question, The command can be run by turning on SSH under LibreElect, setting an SSH password, and then SSHing in to the system running LibreElect.
