Hello!
I’m hoping for some help with my RPi install. I can’t get the device to boot with HA OS so i don’t have log files to share.
I’ve flashed two different SD cards, and tried a USB SSD I get the same behavior with all three.
When I start up the Pi 4 (4GB) The red light turns on of course, and the green activity indicator blinks a few times then stops. The ethernet green and amber lights turn on and the monitor recognizes HDMI input. At this point the green light will stop flashing, the red light and ethernet lights stay lit and nothing else happens. I don’t get the cursor prompt on the screen and I get no error indicator blinks on the board.
This only happens with HAOS. I’ve tried installing with the raspberry pi imager, and with Balena Etcher according to install instructions, the behavior is the same.
Any other OS from the RPi imager seems to work just fine. I can install HA via docker with Raspbian installed, but I want to use Add-ons (notably the google drive backup add on).
If i remove the u-boot.bin file I do get back to the 7 flashes from the green indicator. so i believe the card is being read correctly still.
I have done the bootloader SD Card Boot image fix, and get a green screen indicating success.
I don’t have another Pi 4 to test with but a 3b seems to boot and load fine with the same cards.
I’ve tried multiple power supplies but usually I’m using a Canakit power supply 5.1V / 3.5A
I can boot without a card to the bootloader screen, then insert the card, it will recognize a card was inserted and switch from the bootloader to the digital black screen, with no activity lights again.
I’ve tried an rpi-update to get the latest bootloader that didn’t help either.
Are there any other steps I can take to try to boot? I’m hoping my P4 isn’t just a dud, but I’m worried that’s the case. TIA for any help you can give.
