Start with removing LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME, iHD should be default.

it hangs at Reache dtarget kodi.target and freezes Any suggestion how I might diagnose this?

Assuming you are using Generic (GBM) this is usually caused by kodi crashing. If ssh is enabled login should still be possible. With adding systemd.debug_shell to the kernel command line a debug shell can be reached at console 3 with Alt-F3 as long kodi is not running.

instead I get an error during boot

writer can't create directory '/storage/the number': Read onlyfile system

If you are using the overlay parameter the message is caused by this mkdir. Please check the access rights of 172.16.3.4:/mnt/media/storage

Local console is only enabled for installer mode of boot stick and does not work at all when using GBM. But for X11 using Generic-legacy image it is still possible, only kernel parameter has been changed with LE10.

Replace tty with systemd.debug_shell and you can use CTRL+ALT+F3 again.

I am referring to:

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Audio Cluster
    driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-apl bus-ID: 00:0e.0 chip-ID: 8086:5a98 

and noticed the missing sof-audio-pci-intel-apl.ko

Looks like we need to enable Sound Open Firmware. Links: https://www.sofproject.org/ https://github.com/thesofproject

Using make menuconfig create these changes.

Module name is now snd-sof-pci-intel-apl.ko but does support PCI device [8086:5A98]:

intree:         Y
name:           snd_sof_pci_intel_apl
vermagic:       6.6.63 SMP mod_unload 

Likely this is not sufficient, just a first step

When working simple errors like "only dirty flag set" or "journal need replaying" are fixed before mounting. More severe errors still let the mount fail.

Yes. According to this thread at least snd-sof-pci-intel-apl is missing.

YoyodaDo they descuss your device?

Da Flex the No soundcards found. message is visible on any Generic installation.

Yes, links were somehow garbled - fixed.

Fine that it is working now.

Did check the log again, forget my older posts

Dec 03 08:43:08.357253 LibreELEC kernel: [drm] Unsupported Connector type:21!

A web search on Unsupported Connector type:21! lead to e.g. this thread where changing the boot mode help. Others succeed with firmware update or even create work around as here.

When firmware update is not successful I'm wondering if using pci=nocrs does change anything.

1. With updating to LE12 nightly you do get kernel 6.6.63, maybe something is fixed:

wget -P /storage/ https://test.libreelec.tv/12.0/Generic/Generic/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20241204-f894320.img.gz

2. On one of the successful boots:
a. Create a log for our curiosity
b. Use getedid create to save the found configuration for further boots.

is it a solution for a single HD setup or can i use multiple hd´ s? The libreelec partions has to be the first partions?

Any partition on multiple HDs, usually grub can access any HD. Even the partitions can be on different HDs.

Quote from goofy84

The next thing i realized is that the " aren´ t accepted by my grub2win Version.

I doubt that. But likely the grub2win app is managing the menu structure an you only need:

    search --set=root --label LE_SYS
    linux /KERNEL boot=LABEL=LE_SYS disk=LABEL=LE_DAT quiet tty

What if you power cycle again?

Did you set Samba user/password in LE-Settings Addon?

LibreELEC require two partitions. You can follow my old post, just use the active grub2win *.cfg.

Now testing an extended version of the ntfs kernel mount, see: Improving ntfs3 kernel mount

As further follow up to my post here is an improved mount.ntfs script using ntfs-3g.probe and ntfsfix for fixing simple "dirty flag" issues.

This is experimental. If you are willing to test install the attached addon from ZIP on your LE12 or LE13 system.

If there are issues provide a system log, minimal with journalctl -u 'udevil-mount@*'|paste or a complete log via LE addon.

12.0.0.1 - avoid error on shutdown
12.0.0.0 - initial version

learned a lot the last couple of days

To not trust posted samples because they may contain typos?

Thanks, fixed my posts.

The NTFS-3G addon is now installable from the LE12 repo.
