    • RE: Screen goes black after install&reboot [solved]

      I tried hdmi_safe and disabling all other stuff, then tried another screen but same issue. Finally i tried my 8GB SD card instead of the 16GB one - and it works right out of the box (read: archive). Is there a database of working/non working SD cards? If not, do we want to start one? Thanks @ all. Will now try playing some games 🙂 Beetle

    • RE: Screen goes black after install&reboot [solved]

      i tried to remove the line "hdmi_drive=2 " in /boot/config.txt (using noobs editor of recovery mode) but no change. I played around with the other settings, like hdmi_safe=1 and was even uncommenting the hdmi_group=1 and putting hdmi_mode=4 to force a different mode, but there was absolutely no change. Not even the noobs screen differed. I think RecalboxOS doesn't find the config.txt This is the Partition scheme i get after (successful!) install to my 16GB SDHC card: (its /dev/sdc in my PCs card reader) /dev/sdc1 primary FAT32 RECOVERY /dev/sdc2 extended /dev/sdc5 FAT32 boot /dev/sdc6 ext4 root /dev/sdc7 FAT32 share /dev/sdc3 primary ext4 SETTINGS Is that as expected?

      I formated the SD card using gparted (debian linux) 1 primary partition , maximum size, fat32 then unplugged/plugged SD card, partition got automounted, then i unzipped contents of latest RecalboxOS archive to it. Put into RPi and booted. FAT got rezised and configured automagically. I selected the RecalBoxOS and pressed (i) to install. Installation was ended successfully. Will try to comment the line hdmi_drive.

      Hi, i have an RPi1 and unpacked the RecalBoxOS 3.2.9 release to its SD card. I booted the RPi and installed the RecalBoxOS. Now, if i boot the RPi, after the initial "hold Shift for recovery mode" screen, all i get is a black screen. Whats going wrong here? Thanks, beetle PS: SD card is 16GB SDHC, after installer worked i get 4 partitions on it, all is looking sane, config file in correct folder etc. Screen is Sony TV with HDMI cable.
