Model B instant crash

On my model B I am getting this error after install on boot:

of_platform_populate failed: -22

immediately on boot, the system goes to the OSMC load screen at 0% before recycling through the same.

I have tried a different SD card, redownloading the Alpha 4 image & reextracting as well as more than one install to both SD’s i tried.

Could you grab /boot/install.log and post it to http://paste.osmc.io and provide the link.

Cheers

apologies, but is this from the SD card or the machine the card written from?

If its the machine, what would the windows path be?

/boot/install.log is on the card.

Sorry, either my install is totally boned or I’m missing something, I got on my SD card and went into the filesystem.tar and to boot but there is no /boot/install.log file.
Also I tried to mount /sdd2 on my Ubuntu server and it didnt like that.

Is there a install.log on the root of the card?

No there is not;
bootcode cmdline config filesystem.tar fixup.dat preseed.cfg start.elf zImage

in /boot there is
dtb * (folder) overlays (folder) bcm2708-rpi-b.dtb bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtb bootcode.bin config-3.18.5-2-osmc fixup_x.dat kernel.img LICENCE.broadcom start_x.elf System.map-3.18.5-2-osmc vmlinuz-3.18.5-2-osmc

building a xubuntu usb now will try install from linux.

The windows osmc installer should work fine.
You are deffo selecting:-
Raspberry Pi
&
Alpha 4
&
SD Card

?

Correct those are the options i used

Do you have another power supply that you could use?
