dronnen Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 *** SOLVED **** :) :) :) :) Hello. I have recently bought a flirc. My setup is a Zotac Zbox, with the latest Xbmcbuntu installed. I have programmed my flirc, and it works just fine.BUT, here comes the problem. If I power ON the mediacenter WITH the Flirc inside the USB port, the system fails to boot. The screen just stays black! If I remove the Flirc, and restart the mediacenter WITHOUT the Flirc, the system boots just fine! I can put in the Flirc in the USB after XBMC has loaded up, and my device works just fine. What is the reason it makes my box fail the boot ? Is it because it detects Flirc as an bootable device? Please help me. Thank you for any answers. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Try bios settings, removing boot from usb support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronnen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 okey. How do I change boot priority in xbmcbuntu ? I cannot enter the boot menu. (With the Flirc device plugged in, I cannot get into the BIOS. If I unplug the Flirc I can enter the Bios, but under boot priority, it ONLY lists my Sata drive. Anyone?.

Chris! Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yep, you'll want to make the sata drive the primary (or master) boot drive. Then all other devices mounted should be the 2nd, 3rd etc option. Take a picture of the bios screen if you're still struggling, post it in this thread and we'll help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sry for my late response. have been quite busy, and I almost forgot about my Flirc device. I have made a video showing my problem very clearly. Video of the boot FAIL: Shows that Flirc makes the mediacenter NOT boot, and without it, boot's just fine! Video of ERROR msg: (Shows up when the Flirc device is NOT plugged in, and mediacenter still boots up) Screenshot of ERROR msg: It says "Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC (I guess this should be Flirc ? or its and process or something ? http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7163/j5fb.jpg ALSO! Video from all menues in my bios: Please: Does anyone know how to fix this error ? Any help is appreciated :) -Dronn1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 ALSO! Video from all menues in my bios: I replied to this video on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow this really is a puzzler. I've just re-watched your videos and it really does mess things up - it doesn't compain that there is no OS on Flirc, it just sits there. Screenshot of ERROR msg: It says "Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC (I guess this should be Flirc ? or its and process or something ? Shouldn't be as Flirc doesn't use LIRC. All that is on the device itself - it just turns up as a USB keyboard. One thing I did perhaps notice (or couldn't see correctly) - the initial bootloader part (zotac screen) is really quick. How did you get into the BIOS settings before? When do you press the key combo for the BIOS screen, when the zotac boot image is shown?

Yeah this is a puzzle :) I press the F11 key WHEN the zotac boot image shows. I have replied to your post on youtube, I am NOT able to get into the BIOS when the Flirc device is plugged in.

Chris! Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 The problem lies in that you can get into the bios menu with flirc plugged in. If you could then it would show up in the boot menu ( seconds in). Do you have a USB memory stick, does that cause booting up to fail. It might be worth emailing ZOTAC to see if they have any tidbits of information I've never seen anything thing like the issue you're having as bios is always accessible - it's just one of those things like gravity always keeping you on the ground.

dronnen Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 ******SOLVED**** :) :) :) :) :) FINALLY!!! It works. I disabled the USB legacy support, and got it to boot with the FLirc device. But after several tries, I found out that it wasnt the Usb legacy support that was the problem! It was the keyboard I used for BIOS management that was plugged in, making the whole computer to freeze, when the keyboard AND the FLIRC device was plugged in at the same time! Booting with just one of them works fine! Thanks for all the help lads! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Wow, that is so weird - i've tried booting with flirc and a keyboard and it worked. I'm so glad you've got it working and hopefully this thread will benefit other users should there be a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
