The latest Disk Image 2019.10-1 gives an install error when executed on a Sandisk-32GB-SD and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Error Message is: “Install failed: can’t mount root.”
As always I used the SD-Card Formatter & OSMC installer to perform a fresh install.
It does not happen with 2019.07-1, and therefore i would not complain, but i prefer fresh installs.
Could it somehow be related to the changelog: “Align SD card partitions on RPi” ?
Thanks for your support.
Please start a new post with logs from the installer.
