The #0410x (4.11-rc6 kernel) build pre-dates the changes introduced in the #0418 (4.10.11 kernel) build which is when your system stopped working. It's possible changes in 4.11-rc6 have been backported to 4.10.11, and these changes have somehow broken your HDMI, but I'd expect this to be more widespread so that seems a little unlikely.

In addition, the 4.11-rc6 and 4.11-rc7 builds lack the media_build package that we bumped in 4.10.11 (and included in .4.11-rc8), so we can rule out the media_build package.

However Kodi (and Xorg) can't find a valid display, so Kodi fails with:

Code:

14:07:54.271 T:139709900728384 WARNING: CXRandR::Query - output HDMI1 has no current mode, assuming disconnected

Are you performing clean installs each time you install one of these test builds (ie. install LibreELEC 8.0.1 from disk image, then upgrade using a test build tar)? To be honest this shouldn't be necessary, but would ensure you are working from a known starting point.

Have you changed any BIOS configuration recently, or changed your hardware configuration in any way? Maybe try a different HDMI cable?

Other than a clean installation I don't know what else to suggest...
