alternative is to get some hardware that is better supported
Naturally, I agree that would without a doubt be a solution.
Likewise, I want to thank you for your help.
I'll remain on LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.90.009.img for now and continue testing previous openelec builds
Sorry for the late reply.
I am wondering if the latest OpenELEC build 8.0.4 supports your box more properly
I attempted a clean install of 8.0.4, however it reproduced the former issue Installs successfully, then hangs on splash/boot screen after reboot prompt.
Install the latest Generic build first, just to get the bigger system partition size. After that, you can use .tar files to update/downgrade more easily.
I should have prefaced that with more information
I received the sh:cant accees tty:job control turned off error, when doing only a clean install of the latest generic build
When upgrading with .tar from usable build I received Your System (FAT) partition is too small for this update
I'm unaware of any other alternatives. If you have any understating relative to circumventing the issue, I would appreciate it
If not, I will continue using the above-mentioned usable build LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.90.009.img

======================================================================================
Facing an issue installing the current generic x86 builds from 7.90.010 -- 8.0.2
Installs successfully, then hangs on splash/boot screen after reboot prompt.
Tried installing previousLibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.90.009.img and it functions normally.
Attempted a work-around manually updating from LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.90.009.img
to the current LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.2.img.
However I was faced with a size error Your System (FAT) partition is too small for this update
After resizing /dev/sda1 in gpartion, it proceeded to hang on the splash/boot screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There may have been some internal change between LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.95.0. and LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.2.img that
discarded support for older Generic.x86_64 devices.
