I apologize for posting this to the wrong topic initially, but I don’t know what “… using flag in the title, for specific issues” means.
I installed the RC for the Raspberry Pi (not 2) via the Linux installer and the SD card booted, formatted the disc and began “Installing files.” It gets about 10%, I’d say, and stops. I left it there for a good half hour with no change…
I am installing the Alpha 4 release from the installer now and it seems to be working fine (at 22% and climbing) - I had initially installed this from the disk image, so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t the installer.
I’m getting the same issue. My guess is it’s network related. I tried using the windows installer on the RC, and plugged it into my RPi with a wireless dongle, and it froze at ~10%. I then downloaded the disk image and flashed with Win32DiskImager, and got the same result - even though I’d never entered my wifi details into the disk image.
I then plugged the RC into a wired network, but unfortunately didn’t have a TV near there. I waited 30-60 minutes before unplugging it and connecting it back up to a TV, and got some “kernel panic” error - it won’t boot.
Check your power supply and SD card. OSMC doesn’t need a network for installation (unlike Raspbmc), but low power to connected peripherals can cause issues
I’m getting the same result. Tried 3 times reflashing with the installer, and twice reflashing from the image itself but always stops at “installing files” at around 10%.
I also tried a different power cable, connected it directly to a 1A USB plug and tried a different SD card. I can’t see a log file on the card.
When I power down and try again it starts the installation process again, with formatting then installing again and freezes at the same point.
Where would I find a log file or something that might help troubleshoot?
A 1amp adaptor is not sufficient for a Pi 2. A hard freeze during the installer is almost certainly going to be caused by insufficient power - the Pi 2 is a lot more demanding than the earlier models on power, and the new installer uses more CPU power.
You could try the install without any extra USB devices connected (if you have any) - if that works it’s definitely power related.
I would still try a better power adaptor. These images have been tested in house and boot fine so the only difference between our test devices and yours will be hardware related.
rbp1 and rbp2 images are not interchangeable. You must use the image specific to the device you are using. Not sure if you were already aware of this or not. Just making it clear here.
Got the Windows installer from the osmc.tv site
Chose Raspberry Pi 1
Chose RC
Thing copied fine to the SD card
Put the thing in the Pi and booted up.
Ran through install without issue.
