So I have been running the PI2 for about a year now.
Working flawless. YEsterday I deleted a file from my library using the OSMC filehandler.
When I rebooted my device everything was black. The green led in front pulsating, and nothing else happens. I have searched through the wiki and to me (sorry) Linux is like greek.
I had NO SSH connection (using putty)
I had NO activity on the PI at all.
I put the SD card into my laptop, and I was able to read both partitions fine.
Made backup of neccessary files.
But I did not find any help in the wiki or forum (due to my lack of knowledge when it comes to linux I suppose) that helped me out.
NOW - here’s my question:
Seeing as my SD card is intact I suspect it was a minor error in the boot section (i Did try to add “recovery” to the cmdline.txt - no response at all).
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could write a “boot fixer tool” to scan the boot partition on the SD-card to search (and hopefully) correct errors found. An automated tool would severly help us Linux Noobs that doesn’t know any better.
EDIT:
It turns out it was my power adapter that quit on me, not giving the PI sufficient power. But, I would Still love a diagnose tool that I could initially run (on a computer) SHOULD anything corrupt my boot.
