      Its my first time using RetroPie (or a Raspberry Pi for that matter), and as I started it up I got an error code.g

      end Kernel panic - not syncing: Requested init /usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh failed (error -8)

      I tried to reformat the sd card and reinstall the image onto it with no change.
      Does anyone know any solutions?

      Thanks,
      Kevin

            @eliteanorak In the future, you can just reply back to your original post so that there is a thread of everything that was said and done.

                @eliteanorak You are fine. :)

                You can leave the other one. Someone who knows more about the SD card expansion should be able to answer your other post.
