smakovits Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 No idea what happened, but my libreelec VM won't boot. Just says kernel panic not syncing. Deleted it, re-installed a few times, same thing. Used to work fine, nothing has really changed on my end, so no idea what is happening. The generic image boots, loads and let's be install, so the first part works. But the important part that I need, fails. Just curious if anyone has seen this and has some ideas. Quote Link to comment

Did you have auto updates set to on? I believe unraid's version uses a custom kernel and should only be updated via the unraid gui. If you update it within libreelec, there is a kernel mismatch. You should be able to recreate the vm while keeping your data intact (it should all be in a user share) and be sure to keep auto updates in le off EDIT: rereading your post, it seems I may have assumed. Are you using unraid's built in le vm or one from scratch? Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 not using unraid's version. using the generic LE img and installing myself. It used to work perfectly fine. So thats why I am confused that it is suddenly acting up Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 As another note worth mentioning. I tried openpht and got the same result. Guess I'll try an old libreelec too Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I went from 7.0.2 stable to alpha 8 and on in a similar config. Using seabios. No kernel panic Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 yeah, it was working the other day thats why I am so puzzled. maybe reboot the server? Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I just remembered that if you don't cleanly stop the LE vm, on the next start, you get a kernel panic due to the video card not being released properly (you get some xorg error). The only fix is to reboot the unraid server Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 yes, rebooted the server and then everything booted OK. I also learned that if I set the Audio Card to none, then it boots OK too. But libreelec without an audio card doesnt help me. It is very strange because this used to work perfectly fine in the past. Even rebooting. I thought the release issue was with nvidia only, I have AMD. Regardless, this is stupid and bad, is it an unraid issue or a VM in general issue? before I was on 6.2 i rarely had issue. Now, i flip to the VM and there is no video, I cannot connect with yatse remote so the only thing I can do it reboot. I know on 6.1.9 i did this a few times, but on 6.2 it is way more often. I dont know if it is the vm going to sleep, and issue with the vm or 6.2 in general, but I know rebooting the host every time is not a good fix. So, I just want to get a good understanding of what to expect. I have an old system I can load up if needed, but the vm solution was just simpler. hopefully this is something we can fix or make go away Quote Link to comment

smakovits Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 That's weird that it has worked fine for months. Then out of nowhere this started to happen. Maybe I was just lucky till now. Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is the 210 still the go to cheap option? Microcenter has one for 15$ after rebate Quote Link to comment
DazedAndConfused Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Had the same issue with an AMD card just now. Thank goodness I found this thread. I installed my own LE so I can try the Krypton RC builds. I knew I should have gone Nvidia with this server lol. Quote Link to comment
