Apologies If I'm being dim but I have just tried to follow your instructions and failed.
I did seem able to follow the instructions OK for formatting the USB drive using the Raspian image and these seemed to complete OK.
However, after loading the SD card following your instructions and firing up the pi it just sat there
Can I ask that in your instructions
6. Find a sdcard with minimum 128MB format it as fat label it SYSTEM and copy the following files from the lastest 3.0.0 openELEC release: (
http://openelec.tv , you can use 7zip or winrar to unpack it)
Code:
All the files from the 3rdparty folder
and
SYSTEM and KERNEL from the target folder
do you mean that all the files go into the root of the SD card ( ie bootcode.bin, config.txt, fixup.dat, LICENCE.broadcom and start.elf) or do you put the "3rd party folder" or the "bootloader" folder into the root of the card.
7. Rename KERNEL to kernel.img on the sdcard. >>>> Also does kernel.img have to be in lower case ?
I think i've tried every permutation but no luck so far.
PS Ive used the later 3.0.1 openelec
thanks
