Raspberry pi does not boot correctly

Sat Jul 13, 2013 3:54 pm

I just downloaded the newest image burned it to an sd card that Ive formatted earlier. But when I boot everything runs fine until it starts showing debug info. I type "login" to try to login but when I write pi/raspberry it says incorrect login! Does anyone know any solutions? BTW this is the newest wheezy image.

you don't type login to login. the

Code: Select all

login:
prompt is when/where you type the id & password.

what you were doing was trying to login with a username of login & a password of pi

It never reaches there! it outputted alot of debug code and wont reach the config point. Ive tried downloading a new image to see if it worked, but still the same!

It sounds like it has failed to complete boot.

Could you type the last few lines on the screen or upload a photo of the screen?

You're running in "safe mode".

It usually happens if something is connected to pins 5 and 6 of P1, although a few people seem to have found that their Pi boots in that mode anyway. Maybe it needs more investigation.

You can force a normal boot by adding "avoid_safe_mode=1" to the config.txt file.
