Thanks for the pointer - I tried a different stick and indeed it worked! Thank you.

Hi folks,

dmesg is indeed fixed in the latest release - thanks!

Here's the output of dmesg

I was in /usr/bin when attempting to run dmesg. The command "./usr/bin/dmesg" is not found either though.

"ls" in /usr/bin finds only :

busybox

ply-image

sh

dmesg isn't recognised/not found!

"ls /dev/sd*" finds the three drives - the USB stick, the HDD that holds my media and the (now blank) SSD:

# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sdc2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb /dev/sda

"blkid" returns the USB stick and the HDD:

/dev/sdc1: LABEL="LIBREELEC" UUID="0710-1617" TYPE=vfat
/dev/sdb1: UUID="8b8eefd4-e5ed-4aa1-a73a-1c5d84070b65" TYPE="ext4"

I erased the partitions on the SSD by booting a Mint XFCE Live USB and GParted.

LibreELEC still produces the same error though. I tried this booting the USB in both EUFI and BIOS modes, same result for each.

Any ideas?

Yes, I want to do a clean install onto the SSD that currently has OE on it. I'd rather do a clean install than an OE to LE upgrade if possible anyway.

However, I can't see how I can do a fresh install if the installation process fails before I get any kind options presented to me...?

Hi all,

I'm having difficulty installing LE on my HTPC. I'm using the LE USB creator and have tried Generic AMD/Intel/NVIDIA (x86_64) v8.2.5 and v8.90.007 images.

It's a HTPC I built a few years back built around an AMD A-10 5700 currently running OpenElec installed on an SSD. I'm trying to replace OpenElec with LibreELEC.

I boot from USB on the HTPC and I wait for the installer to run, I get the LibreELEC splash screen and after a few seconds over the top of the splash screen I get the following error messages:

*** Error in prepare_sysroot: mount_common: Could not mount /dev/SYSTEM ***
### Starting debugging shell for boot step: prepare_sysroot... type exit to quit ###

# exit

mount: mounting /flash on /sysroot/flash failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /storage on sysroot/storage failed: No such file or directory
*** Error in prepare_sysroot: final_check: Could not find systemd! ***
** Starting debugging shell for boot step: prepare_sysroot... type exit to quit ###

# exit

After that 'exit' I get pages of stuff dumped to the screen!

Any ideas what the issue is?

TIA
