My wife recently bought me a Raspberry Pi as a gift. She bought me the whole kit with the board, keyboard, mouse, power supply, HDMI cable, USB hub, enclosure, and the SD card pre-loaded with Debian Linux. I went to hook it all up and I am getting boot-up problems. Sometimes it does not boot up at all (red light on but no signal to HDMI monitor). Other times it tries to boot but gives an almost endless stream of error messages. I have yet to make it to the GUI.
A lot of the messages look like:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'usr/lib/arm-linux-gnucabhf/libcofi_rpi.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
udcvd[1601]: failed to execute /sbin/modprobe' '/sbin/modprobe -b usb (followed by a bunch of characters) ...' : Permission denied
And so forth. I tried typing in startx to run the graphical user interface, but just got a bunch more error messages.
I suspect that either the board itself, or the pre-loaded SD card, or both are bad. Any ideas on how to proceed?
