Hi all,
My XBMC Live install won't boot. It is on a 2.5" Sata disk in a USB enclosure, connected to my HP Microserver via a USB cable.
It boots as far as the OS "selection" screen, where it says things like "Ubuntu, Ubuntu recovery mode" etc, but I just don't press anything on that screen and XBMC normally boots, but it won't any more it just hangs at a black screen after this selection screen.
If I attach the disk to a laptop via usb, I see an error message when booting which says "Error: Can't load file, you need to load the kernel first"
I have used Gparted to check this disc recently, as I was getting the OS crashing whilst using XBMC with an "init bootarg" error which user Danz0l posted a fix about, i've managed to do this before and it fix my problem and boot XBMC fine, can anyone advise me please?
I guess one option is to somehow clone the drive, and buy a USB stick big enough to hold the installation, and blat the disk clone onto the USB stick - they seem to be more stable than an external hdd.......
