Repeated kernel exceptions on RPi3 with PiFi & touchscreen

I tried a fresh install of Volumio 2.575. It starts but then fails with a kernel panic.

I’ve tried different SD cards, fresh download etc but consistently get the kernel panic a while after starting.

Everything seems to work as expected until the panic.

Any thoughts?

I’ve tried version 2.526 with the same result.

I’ve tried etcher and Gnome Disks for burning to SSD to try and rule etcher out as the cause.

First and foremost make sure that you have got a good (minimum 2.5A) power supply (both RPi3 & touchscreen are power hungry). After you’ve made sure of this, I would try to narrow down the culprit by trying RPi alone, adding PiFi, then adding touchscreen … making sure that you have a stable system at each stage.

I’ve gone back to an earlier version and I have no more kernel panics.

The touchscreen plugin isn’t working, it installs, no errors, the screen works but no interface is displayed, just the 2 line login prompt after the volumio splash but I’ll keep trying with that, that plugin has always been temperamental and I’m not alone in the problem.

I broke the previous install by using apt I thought, I also updated Volumio in the same boot so it may not have been apt now I see the same issue on clean installs of the latest version.

Hardware is fine under other distros and it’s an official power supply.

If i discover things are fine without a touchscreen or DAC does that help? What do I do then?

I tired a fresh install again of a 2.5 version and got the notorious 70% completion of the touchscreen plugin and a successful message.

But it had actually failed due to Cannot write: No space left on device. So getting closer. Is this due to the partition not being expanded? Something else?

I made like a spider and/or The Bruce, and eventually a fresh install worked.

There’s nothing I can identify that made the difference - the things I switched around were - the SD card, the SD card adaptor, the writing tool, the image, whether the image was unzipped first, whether I connected to wifi during install, whether I changed the name of the instance during install.

I did nothing unique in the install that worked.

Any ideas what could have been the culprit?
