Just to add more background to this issue:
- We do not modify the official raspbian kernel, just uninstall some packages and install new ones.
- We do not modify the NOOBS structure or settings. We just add silentinstall to cmdline.txt
And some questions:
- Your test with a fresh raspbian was with NOOBS or with a raspbian image?
- Have you tried to force boot?:
How to bypass the Recovery splashscreen and boot directly into a fixed partition
After you have installed your chosen OSes, add the following file to the root directory of NOOBS to force the indicated partition to be booted at power-on.
Add a text file named autoboot.txt to the root directory of NOOBS.
Add boot_partition=<partition number> to the file and save it to disk.
This will also prevent the splashscreen from being displayed at boot. The partition number can be found by running sudo fdisk -l the partition will be one of the FAT32 partitions /dev/mmcblk0p6 would be partition 6. Note that once an autoboot.txt file is present, there's then no way to force the NOOBS GUI to display, until you delete (or rename) the autoboot.txt file.
