Hi Folks,
I have a rather frustrating issue where the Rpi 5 with a Generic MCUZone Hat and WD SN530 NVME is taking os, booting from power up but NOT detecting the OS on the SSD on a reboot.
i.e. on a reboot (without power-off) it goes to the loader/imager screen (excuse the terminology please).
Yet completely power down the unit and then it will find the SSD and boot from it.
[ The SSD may appear to have one of the once-troublesome chipsets (i.e. its a 20-82-10048-A1 Polaris MP16). Mind you it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to source non-Polaris-based SSD's inexpensively. I have also trawled forums extensively and noted that the issue with this drive and its successors appears to be fixed ]
I have all the recommended basic configs in place i.e.:
File: config.txt
dtparam=nvme
dtparam=pciex1_gen=2
The situation is made worse if one uses the raspi-config "Boot Order → NVMe/USB Boot" option ...
I have found Raspberry Pi OS to be rather troublesome; The latest Ubuntu (24.04.1) with latest updates is almost rock-solid stable -
Can anyone please offer some constructive suggestions re moving forward? There is obviously a firmware configuration step that I need somewhere that I need community assistance with. The application for this device requires occasional programmed and remote reboots - so I need this sorted.
Thanks
