Boot message: "Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready…"

Hello everyone,
I’m new to the world of Home Assistant and I’m experiencing an issue during startup. The process halts with the message: “Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready…”.

Here’s my setup:

  • Raspberry Pi 5 8GB
  • Micro SD: 1 Sandisk High Endurance 32GB
  • Installation: via Raspberry Pi Imager (Pi Device: Raspberry Pi 5, Operating System: Other Specific Purpose → Home Assistant 12.1)
  • Ethernet: connected to the network
  • Power supply: Raspberry Pi 27W

I’ve also tried using another SiliconPower 32GB micro SD, but the problem persists.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could offer assistance regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance!
