Stuck on coloured screen

[hendry]

Hi guys,

My rpi is stuck on a coloured boot. Any ideas why?

Is it boot sector corruption? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7349

Before anyone suggests it, I did try `boot_delay=1` in the config.txt http://ix.io/dnF and it didn't work.

I fixed it!


sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=rpi-backup.img bs=1M
sudo resize2fs -M rpi-backup.img # to get it smaller

sudo dd if=/home/hendry/Downloads/ArchLinuxARM-2014.06-rpi.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Then I expanded the Extended partition like so http://archpi.dabase.com/#resizing-a-fr ... he-sd-card

sudo dd if=rpi-backup.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p5 bs=1M
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5
