Hmmm: As I formatted the SD card several times, and successfully reinstalled different versions I do assume that this is not the problem. It also does not stay up, it's just visible for a second or so - but it has not been visible in other versions.

Hmmm .... but all explanations I find for the colored-square say, that something with the kernel is messes up and usually the PI is not booting anymore, and freezes with this display. I would not mind that the green activity LED does not flash during normal operation, but in combination with the square ... I assume that something is not as it should be

Hello dear community, I'm quiet new to the RPI and LibreElec/Kodi, however, I have a problem with the latest release, running it on my 'naked' PI 3.

When I power on the PI, in the past three months (until release 7.95.1) , the following happened:
- red led went on
- green led was flashing
- Display went on, displaying the "startup-screens" (LibreElec-Version and Krypton-Logo)
- Kodi was ready -> red led was constantly on, green led was flashing frequently

After the update on 7.95.2 the following happens:
- red led goes on
- green led flashes exactly once
- display is showing a multi-coloured-square for a few seconds
- then booting starts as used , displaying the "startup-screens" (LibreElec-Version and Krypton-Logo)
- Kodi is ready
however the green activity LED is completely off and only turns on (flashing some times) when I shutdown the system.
Kodi seems to be working as usual.

I removed all USB-Devices, the LAN cable > same symptoms
I did reset the system to default values > same symptoms
I did not turn on the debug log, but there was nothing than the successful start event in the regular event log.
I did make a backup and then formatted the sd-card writing the image of 7.95.1 > now the PI works as usual
I did make a new image with 7.95.2 > the symptoms (no green-led activity and displaying the colored square) start to show up from the first start (before the setup routine starts)

What's wrong with this version and how may I contribute to fix the problem?
