Boot slot A is 'inactive' and 'bad' after HAOS v14.0 update

oroth8 · December 4, 2024, 6:47pm

Running HAOS on a rasberrypi5, hybrid SDD setup. I received the update notification for HA OS 14.0 this morning and gave it ago. HA did not boot after 2 attempts. On third attempt it booted to slot b successfully.

‘ha os info’ is showing:

How do I fix boot_slot A?

I ran into the same issue except my b is inactive and bad.

Welcome to my world, have been stuck on 12.3 for months, any update past that just bricks the system, including the latest 14.0.

That’s the problem with a project like this, it’s now so unbelievably complicated, that when bugs like this come up, there in no hope of getting them fixed.

Those troubles started a long ago. When this Slot A, Slot B thing is introduced.
Since then I also never have a hassle free update.

The only thing I know: keep restarting, it always suddenly gets it done. Sometimes 3 attempts, sometimes 6, but it always finally does start.

Report on such troubles was done by me and others, but staled… Tjeahhhh…

Same issue here since back around 11.1. Running Yellow with Rpi4 and SSD.

I’ve been able to force it to update since then (running 13.2 now) using Terminal & SSH and playing with the update/boot_slot commands here:

I have the same issues. I tried downgrading slot B to 13.1 which worked and then proceeded to upgrade to 14.0. Both slots now are on 14.0 but I have the most curious status display where both slots are 14.0 but the os reports to be on 13.2???

board: rpi5-64
boot: B
boot_slots:
  A:
    state: inactive
    status: bad
    version: "14.0"
  B:
    state: booted
    status: good
    version: "14.0"
data_disk: KINGSTON-SA400S37240G-50026B738188555E
update_available: true
version: "13.2"
version_latest: "14.0"

Does anyone know if it’s possible to “wipe” a boot slot? I had some issues a while back and tried 14.0 rc1. It didn’t work at all and my boot slot B was marked as bad.
Now I can’t upgrade nor downgrade as any attemt changing anything in slot B throws an error.

My current status according to os info:

➜ ~ ha os info
board: rpi5-64
boot: A
boot_slots:
A:
state: booted
status: good
version: “13.2”
B:
state: inactive
status: bad
version: 14.0.rc1
data_disk: CT500P3SSD8-2403463A4A7A
update_available: true
version: “13.2”
version_latest: “14.0”

And the error I get from the supervisor trying to update OR downgrade:

ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.os.manager] Home Assistant Operating System update failed with: Installation error: Failed updating slot boot.0: failed to run slot hook: Child process exited with code 1
