Put a fresh copy of libreELEC 9 on my Le Potato today, and guessing that the Bootloader fix that was in the 8.2.5 bootloader test version from wrxtasy post that I've been using without issue since October without issue. As using LE 9 the freezing has occurred.

Tested the latest Alpha version (v8.90.006 ALPHA) on my Le Potato as I'd put it away in a cupboard again and managed to get it to freeze within a couple of minutes by testing copying so guess its bootloader hasn't had the potential fix applied to it.

As all the Raspberry Pi's I used are on the stable versions I've tried the Bootloader test version from the wrxtasy link and it has only been a few hours but everything I've tried to trigger it to crash which included copying around 10GB worth of files from NFS mount which would previously have caused it to crash within a minute worked fine, and even managed to watch a film at the same time.

Going to continue to test, but its survived where it's fallen over previously so far.

I have dug out my Le Potato and put a fresh install of the Alpha version on. It ran ok for a couple of hours before locking up the same as happened when tried the old kszaq version used to, and I packed it away.

Mine seems to have crashed again, but lasted a week this time, so not perfect but vastly improved.

Know that gadido30 has still had a crash with his zip file test. But from testing purely in Kodi, mine has been stable for 5 days so far since using the kernel.img which beats the maximum of 30 or so hours previously. So might not be a perfect fix, but seems to have improved things, still testing to see how much longer it will run and if there is any more crashing.

Hi,

Mine crashed later in the evening on Monday. So doesn’t look like was the fix.

On 12hr shifts so not have much free time, but was going to see if could cause the board to crashing with a couple of different distros such as Armbian.

gadido30 is that with the new bootloader? As it’s only been 24 hours, but so far mines not crashed and it previously has by now. Obviously I need to use it for a few more days to know for sure.

Have applied it. Will test for a few days and see if it solves the crashes.

Mine is the 2Gb model. The markings on the RAM Chips as far as I can read are.

Haven't managed to solve the problem gadido30 I still have the same problem. Seems to be entirely random for me, have reverted back to my Raspberry Pi 2 for now. Haven't been able to identify a potential cause.

My setup has videos folder mounted from and NFS share, and my movies database is also on mysql server on the same machine the NFS share originates from. Do you also use either of them in your setup?

Have attached the zip from the createlog have ran today, the last lockup was when previous boot ran the createlog command but that may have been due to the kodi log being about 1.5 Gig in size due to the amount of time it was running and continuously playing videos for around 18 hours. Have realised that got Airplay (audio only) enabled, so going to test with that disabled incase that is the cause.log-2018-01-13-16.19.40.zip

Well tried with debugging enabled overnight using the power adaptor that shipped with the Le Potato and it lasted through the night and eventually crashed this evening. Power cycled and ran createlog and the Le Potato appeared to have locked up again while that was running through. Am I right in thinking that in LibreELEC that logs only survive 1 reboot? As have powered off, but not really want to lose the logs and be back to square 1 in the troubleshooting process.

As will manually pull any logs off the SD card if required, if can get access to the partitions while using MacOS.

Hi,

Power adapter was a 5V/2A one that use for my Pi2 from thepihut. Have plugged in to the Power adapter that was also shipped with the Le Potato which is 5V/2.5A according to the label, and have set it to play videos overnight with debugging enabled.

Have the Heatsink that got with the board, and also is in case which also came with the board which has a fan built into it.

Have got LibreELEC 8.2.2.3 working on my Le Potato, however it seems to randomly crash. Once was exiting settings menu, and twice when watching something. But as whole purpose is watching stuff it’s not really a surprise. Currently using it as a secondary testing box until things appear stable with the whole Le Potato being new.

Have attached the logs that have zipped up.kodi-logs.zip

Interested to see if it works for cata747 as I not test the one linked on Thursday, however the current image I can't get to boot on my Le Potato.

Though personally have found it quite sensitive to boot from any images created for them compared to the few Pis I have.
