I have been trying to get Home Assistant installed with my RPI5 running a Freenove NVME M.2 card and I cant get it to work at all… It works if i install it on a SD card but not the NVME…
I have tried everything i can think of and it will not work. it just throws errors and will not get past the waiting for CLI screen.
I have tried version 17 and 16.2 and neither of them work…
am i missing somthing i need to do with an NVME drive to get this working ??
What a pain in the ass… I know the NVME drive is fine… I can install any other OS and it works fine just not the HA …
You need to set the pi up to boot from an external drive. Load an OS on the SD card, then make the firmware changes. This is a PI function and I suggest google searching how to do that. I have not done it recently.
I already did that. every other OS I install works with the NVME drive but HA. it gets part way and starts throwing errors that it cant access things. it is 100% an NVME issue…
I even tried using some older version of the HA and they get up to the Waiting for the CLI message and then crap out as well… but if i put it on an SD card works fine.
