Home Assistant Yellow gets CM5 support in HAOS 14

Hi, I installed RPIBOOT and Pi Imager on W11, disabled the eMMC boot w/ jumper on a J2 from IO board, connected the IO board to PC w/ USB-C, ran the RPIBOOT, ran the Pi Imager and then the Pi Imager detected the eMMC and NVME. There were two image options in the Pi Imager under RPI5->Home Assistant and neither worked.

Just upgraded my HA Yellow from a CM4 lite to a CM5 lite which changed my fixed IP address as the CM5 has a different network MAC address. That was relatively easy to solve and have access to my HA now on the original IP but lots of things don’t work, the worst of which is that ZHA doesn’t load so none of my Zigbee or Thread devices work any more. Anyone come across this?

Update: also tried it on a spare HA Yellow POE where I installed HAOS 14.1 via rpiboot which went fine and then restored from backup but has the identical issue - ZHA won’t load so none of my Zigbee or Thread devices are working. I’m going to assume this is a genuine issue/bug as I’ve reproduced it on 2 completely separate HA Yellow’s. Fingers crossed for a speedy resolution.

I’m not sure anymore what I actually did, but somehow I got this to work. I first installed the Raspberry PI OS to eMMC. I’m quite sure that then I just used the PI Imager from RPI OS to install the Home Assistant OS (RPI5 image) to NVME. Finally I found some setting from the RPI OS to change the boot order and CM5+IO Board booted to HAOS. I used full back up and everything works now very well. I’m not sure what was the issue w/ HAOS installed to eMMC via Windows & PI Imager.
