Ok Christopher,
did you try to download the firmware again? in this link there is what I used. Downloaded from the Italian Yamaha website ... and that worked for me.
Consider that I discovered that the SX900 that I purchased in Italy, in effect, is imported from Germany, in fact inside I found only the manual in German and the one in English. If you feel like trying ...
If any of the more experienced members can advise against this please give your opinion...

Thanks for sending over the link. I tried installing your firmware, also tried installing the firmware from my country's Yamaha website... but ...you guessed it... no luck :(

I think every country uses the same firmware build and since there probably only one SKU of SX900, those different firmware files shouldn't (probably) make any difference. But thanks anyway!

MY guess is:
Since "PSR-SX900" is displayed, but the boot process does not continue, the Linux kernel is obviously still started properly ("Linux Initramfs starting"). The error then occurs during the "Linux Rootfs starting" phase ("Rootfs corruption"). Due to the "SX900 System Boot Flowchart" this indicates an error (maybe data corruption) on the internal memory module "eMMC0"(8 GB). Unfortunately, only the authorized Yamaha service will be able to help you here.


Best regards,
Chris

WOW! I wonder what went different in Aquilauno's case... since both of us (even another user - blackpool who's keyboard was replaced?) ran into this when we touched "Favorites". Some really big coincidence? Or I wasn't lucky enough lol

P.S. Lockdown in my country was supposed to end tomorrow, but has been extended for 2 more weeks :(
