Help with first power up
-
Pi Model: 3
Power Supply: 2.5A Power Supply
RetroPie Version: 4.2
Built From:Pre Made SD Image on Retro Pie Website
USB Devices Connected: none yet
Controllers Uses: None yet
Error Message received: "end Kernel panic - not syncing: Requested init /usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh failed (error -8)"
Guide Used: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/All Ive done so far is install the image on an sd card (using Win32DiskImager) that I formatted (using SD Card Formatter). Whenever I start it up, I get that error code almost immediately. I thought I mightve gotten a bad SD card, so I got another one but resulted in the same error. Any ideas?

Looking at the expand file system stuff, looks like you can manually try to kick it off again.

I cant even do anything with the pi, let alone manually starting it again. I plug in the power, and I get a black screen with lines of code ending with that error.

@eliteanorak Was your 4.2 image unzipped before you wrote it to the 2 SD cards?
-
@eliteanorak If all else fails..try Etcher instead to write your image. There is a chance your image might be corrupted during download as well.
As HurricaneFan said make sure to uncompress it. Make sure your card is formated fat32...the rewrite the image. -
@hurricanefan I did unzip it, but I didnt really trust that program. Im installing 7zip now.
-
@akafox I just finished reformatting my sd card to FAT32, and Im going to use Etcher to write the image. After I use 7zip to unzip the file.
-
@eliteanorak I was going to ask about that...yeah..7zip is MUCH better.

@eliteanorak Good luck!
