Raspberry PI2 fails to boot #49

Closed barisbalic closed 6 years ago

barisbalic commented 6 years ago

Hi there, really love the look of this project, exactly what I was hoping for. On the downside I haven't been able to get it to boot all day.

I've been using dd on OSX to write the cards (like any other distro), and can get my RPI2 to boot Raspbian with any of the three SD cards I have. However as soon as I try booting BENJA I just get stuck on a rainbow boot screen, I believe because the kernel isn't loading/can't be found.

I grabbed the latest image from the homepage. Wondering if something is wrong, as I have tried...

Multiple RPI2s
Multiple SD cards
Different blocksizes when writing the card

And I can't think of anything else :(

I am on the same issue,

RPI 3 model B nothing happens, when trying to flash the sd card via dd.

Was you able to get it to work?

best

This was clearly a "knowledge on transferring images to sf card.

I was unounting and focusing dd on disk2s1, which that is not the correct way.

I followed then the official way: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/mac.md

these were my steps through terminal: ⇒ diskutil list /dev/disk2 (external, physical):

: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *7.9 GB disk2 1: DOS_FAT_32 BENJA 7.9 GB disk2s1

⇒ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 ⇒ sudo dd bs=1m if=benja-rpi2.iso of=/dev/rdisk2 conv=sync

and done :D
