Hello HA community,
I’m new to Home Assistant, and not that great with RPi neither, so maybe I did bad things without noticing, but I can’t figure out what, no matter how many forum I checked.
To keep it simple, I get a Raspberry Pi 3B with a 64GB SD card, because I was told RPi is the best way to start with HA, and I needed at least 32GB to be sure it work fine.
My computer is on Windows 10 (don’t know if it helps, just say it so it’s here)
At first I tried the simpliest way: follow the official Raspberry tutorial.
Everything seems to work just fine, the flash is complete, I eject my SD card and plug it in my RPi, then power it up.
For connection setup, I tried to plug it directly at the internet server with ethernet cable, but it didn’t work after a few hours, and because I can’t have an HDMI monitor here, I couldn’t see any logs about it.
So I guessed it can surely be better to try it with wifi, even if it’s recommanded to be ethernet linked for the first configuration.
For that I asked chatGPT how I can make my RPi know which wifi it needs to setup himself, and so I created a file at CONFIG/network/my-network with every details in it, and it seems to work because the file is deleted after being used (I think).
Anyway, after all that I had access to logs with a supposedly good configuration, but I got hard stuck after those logs:
Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready...
[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jumping into emergency console...
After that, I don’t have anything (which seems logic because it looks like it aborted himself).
I captured every logs before (after redoing all the process to be sure it’s not corrupted), and the only errors I could find are the following:
## Error: bad CRC, import failed
(many logs)
[FAILED] Failed to start Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronised
I tried to use balenaEtcher to see if the problem was the imager, but it only get rid of the Kernel time synchronisation problem.
The last idea I have is that there is a problem about my 64GB SD card, but I want to be sure before I bought another one for no reason.
Can anyone help me understand my problem? Thank you in advance!
I can give any other details if needed, just ask.
