Hello,
I tried to install the last 2 versions versions (7. and 8. Dec.) but it failed. During boot I see:
Kernel OK
System OK
Checking size FAILED
Starting after 30 seconds...
My current test build is "rc2".
Any hints

What is the output from "df" in ssh? Chances are your FAT partition is too small - how did you create your initial system, from an image or using the create_sd script?

Thanks! Here we are:

Initial system was done with an image (XBMC 13.2). Update worked until "rc2". SD is 8GB. Sorry but I'm a Linux newbie.


UPDATE:
***Success: I've added 1GB to the FAT partition with "Paragon Festplattenmanager": Now it's ok. Many thanks for that hint!

Your FAT partition, which is where the boot files and firmware is stored, is only 128MB in size - this is now insufficient given the size of the boot files. You need to resize your primary partition to something more reasonable, eg. 256MB or 384MB. Normally I'd suggest using something like gparted/parted on Linux to resize the partitions but if you're a newbie this is probably not something you're familiar with.

Reformatting the SD card with a new OpenELEC 5.x disk image is probably the solution as I think the more recent OE builds create a larger FAT partition. Note however you will lose all your existing data unless you back it up.

Hyperion is broken in latest builds. Last good build is #1204. Starting with #1205 hyperion is not working.

After changing the SYSTEM-partition size with a Live-CD everything is working in #1207, as far as I can tell

Can you try adding "device_tree=" to config.txt? This will disable the device tree support and indicate roughly whether this is a DT-related problem or something else.

Excellent. However the Intel wireless firmware that bloated SYSTEM starting with #1207 has in the last couple of hours been moved to a separate package that will only be built for Generic platforms (x86 etc., not R-Pi) so the SYSTEM file should fit more comfortably once again in small partitions.

Fresh installations with builds from tonight will also create a 256MB FAT partition rather than 128MB.

I did and it didn't help. Checked #1209 and afterwards #1205. After reverting to #1204 hyperion/lightberry is working again.

Can you give some details of what your hyperion/lightberry setup involves? E.g. link to the setup instructions you followed.
If you are using any different GPIO pins, then specify.
What do you do to a clean OE image to enable it? (e.g. any config.txt, cmdline.txt, or config files in /storage?)

[gandharva]

All I do is to follow this instructions: https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/wiki...h-OpenELEC
Plus my own hyperion config. I also have some scripts to enable/disable hyperion with my logitech harmony, but that should not matter here.
No special pin layout or anything else.

/edit
Here you can see (page 4) the used pin layout from lightberry: http://img.lightberry.eu/download/doc/Li...ual_EN.pdf

After changing the SYSTEM-partition size with a Live-CD everything is working in #1207, as far as I can tell

Excellent. However the Intel wireless firmware that bloated SYSTEM starting with #1207 has in the last couple of hours been moved to a separate package that will only be built for Generic platforms (x86 etc., not R-Pi) so the SYSTEM file should fit more comfortably once again in small partitions.

Fresh installations with builds from tonight will also create a 256MB FAT partition rather than 128MB.

How can I make a fresh installation?
