Installation

#2 Post by toppas »

Extracted zip and installed arch_remix_5.img on sd-card with:

dd bs=4M if=~/arch_remix_5.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Installation went fine but the screen stays black when i try to boot up.
openelec and raspbian are working fine.


what did i do wrong?

Here's a guess...

I think the image was not designed for 4 GB card.
Maybe it was designed for 2GB or even 1GB card.
Here's the command if it was designed for 2GB card.

Code: Select all

dd bs=2M if=[debian .img file] of=[path to your SD card]
Then you can resize to fill out all the space of a 4GB card.
Resizing is explained HERE

Tried it...

Thank you for your guess. Unfortunately it didn't work.
I also tried a different SD-Card but no luck.
Well, the working light on the RPi blinked (so something was working, maybe booting) but the display stayed black. (yes i checked the wires :-D)

Any other guess...maybe somebody had experience with this image?



Edit:....ok, tried to power it on again, no changes made. Works now, i have no idea where the problem was...
