Open Elec 6.0.3 to Libre Elec 8.0

Hi all

First post here in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction. I've made an apparently grave error in attempting this update. Upon rebooting I'm left with a black screen with only the mouse arrow showing. Obviously I immediately tried to revert back to Open Elec 6.0.3, only for the following message to appear when updating "Missing KERNEL or SYSTEM!".

So now I'm stuck. I'm assuming my Intel Nuc (Celeron 847) doesn't have the requisite video drivers or something to cope with this latest version, but how I can I go back? Where can I find older stable versions?

Any assistance appreciated, bearing in mind I'm a noob.

Cheers

Hold the phone. Hopefully this will help me: thread-206.html

Okay, I'm successfully back to OpenElec 6.0.3 after much faffing about.

For those interested, I think it was a matter of not having enough space on /storage. Using Chewitt's advice from thread-262.html, I was able to clear some space from the temp folder via SSH console.

I'm still interested to know what went wrong originally though.

Good advice, thanks both

Final update on this saga. First had to increase the size of the boot drive - [Solved/Howto] OpenELEC - "size check failed" error.

Then kept finding I was left with the black screen and mouse arrow after trying to update from openelec 7.0.1 to libreelec 8.0. That's when I found this: LibreELEC (Krypton) v8.0.0 RELEASE – LibreELEC

Namely: "Update: We have seen reports of boxes getting stuck on the Krypton splash screen after updating. Removing /storage/.kodi/userdata/Databases/Addons27.db manually allows Kodi to complete migration but add-ons will need to be re-enabled afterwards. The bug has been reported to Kodi. Auto-update will not be available until the issue is resolved. If you do not experience the issue when updating, do not delete the Addons27.db file!"

Having removed this file I was able to finally boot into libreelec 8.0 and kodi 17. Phew!
