I tried the LE 12 image you sent. First I ran it without the ssh parameter. It got stuck in the same loop I initially described, except this time, it skipped stopped kodi.service, so it was just

starting kodi.service

started kodi.service

starting kodi.service

After adding the ssh parameter, it does the same thing. It doesn't constantly start and stop sshd.service like it did in LE 11. It even showed the kodi 21.0 splash screen for a second or 2, before returning to the LibreELEC boot screen looping between starting and started kodi.service again. Still can't connect via ssh using the command I mentioned earlier.

Quote from chewitt

Add "ssh" to boot params so the daemon is forced to start and then you can SSH into the box to look at (and share) dmesg and Kodi logs. The box doesn't hang at the boot splash, it's simply never overwritten with Kodi so remains visible.

It's possible for bad cards to cause problems, but since the entire OS (kernel and userspace) are essentially in two compressed files; if the card media is damaged it generally results in nothing booting (not partial boot). If you have a spare card you're welcome to try another, and also experiment with https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…80.0-box.img.gz (LE12).

After adding the ssh parameter, the loop it gets stuck in changes slightly. Aside from kodi.service, it also keeps starting and stopping sshd.service (see image). I tried connecting via SSH, but I couldn't figure out how to do that exactly. I tried running the command ssh root@LibreELEC.local on my laptop, as I found a page online that said to use that command, but it says it could not resolve the hostname. Am I doing it wrong or is this because of the ssh service being stopped and restarted constantly? In fact, is LibreELEC even connected to the internet at this point? I don't have it wired with ethernet, so it would have to use WiFi, but I obviously haven't been able to set that up in LibreELEC.

I'll give the LE 12 image a shot as well.

I'm trying to use LibreELEC on my Minix Neo U9-H. I've flashed LibreELEC-AMLGLX.arm-11.0.3-box.img.gz onto a MicroSD card, put it into the Minix and held down the power button. It gets stuck on the boot screen with the LibreELEC logo. I've also tried removing the quiet parameter from the boot arguments to see what's going on. It looks like it keeps starting kodi.service, then stopping it again. The process goes like this:

Started kodi.service

Job wait-time-sync.service/start running (this runs for a few seconds)

Stopped kodi.service

Starting kodi.service

Started kodi.service

This goes on in an infinite loop. Could it be a bad MicroSD card or is this likely caused by some other issue?
