Hi guys,
I recently rebuilt my media centre with all new parts except for the case:
CPU - intel G1610
Mobo - ASRock H77 Pro-M
RAM - 4GB Crucial DDR3 PC-10600
SSD - Crucial v4 64GB SATA 3GB/2.5" SSD
HDD - 1TB WD green thingy
PSU - Antec VP 350W PSU
Case - Antec Veris Fusion Remote black
Installed XBMCbuntu. Video output is set to use hardware acceleration and to sync with framerate. Audio is via toslink S/PDif optical to my AV receiver, so I've set XBMC to output audio using coax/optical and enabled passthrough etc. Set up a SAMBA share to access my windows network, which works fine.
Tried to get my remote working (the antec case comes with an iMon type receiver built in plus a remote) and tried to get the LCD display working, but neither works yet.
It was kind of working, except periodically it was not finding the audio device and when this happened it would also struggle to play video files (major slowdown and stuttering video). Occasionally it also struggled to go through the menus, and would take 30 s between screens. The movie library sometimes is very slow to display thumbnails.
The biggest problem is it now fails to boot properly, giving me this message:
Code:
Anyone got any ideas what is going on? When i restart it just boots into some GRUB menu, but none of the options seem to work.
Pretty much the same thing happened a year ago when I last tried to set up a media centre. It had the same case, but with AM2+ components, and used XBMCbuntu 'Eden'. Could it be something to do with me trying to get the remote to work?
I don't understand why sometimes it all just works fine, but then i come to turn it on another day (or just reboot it) and it doesn't work. I also have no idea how to get it to boot into XBMC or XBMCbuntu now as the GRUB menu options don't seem to work.

Code:
Quote:Filesystem check or mount failed. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL -D will terminate the shell and continue booting after retrying sulogin: cannot open password database!
Segmentation halt.
Start: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
