Did some digging in Grok and added SSH access. I don’t seem to have access to any normal bash command despite having root access.

[core-ssh ~]$ ha os info
board: generic-x86-64
boot: A
boot_slots:
  A:
    state: booted
    status: bad
    version: "14.2"
  B:
    state: inactive
    status: bad
    version: null
data_disk: SAMSUNG-MZNTY128HDHP-000L1-S2YRNB0H927859
update_available: true
version: "14.2"
version_latest: "15.1"

[core-ssh ~]$ lsblk
-bash: lsblk: command not found

Any idea where to start on this?

The OS dev’s topic: Home Assistant OS 15.0 - no need to skip

3

Thanks - that RC did not work. I waited on 15.0 and my upgrade was an attempt to 15.1 as I was trying to avoid upgrade issues :rofl:

4

The version is not important. Did you read about the reasons for the failures and how to solve them?

You haven’t mentioned your hardware or install type so I can’t tell you which one.

x86 NUC - just realized that the triangle was a disclosure.

[core-ssh ~]$ ha os info
board: generic-x86-64

The fix is to add libata.force=nolpm to the kernel command line options, which can be done either temporarily through the GRUB menu or to the cmdline.txt file in the boot partition.

Ok - before I start hooking up monitors / key board to this headless machine is the cmdline.txt file just added to the ./ directory of HA?

This is not my area of expertise so you should probably ask in the other topic but I think it is:

/mnt/boot/cmdline.txt

Grok to the rescue - corrupted grubenv:

Recreate fully:

rm /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv create
 // Set variables:
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv set ORDER="A B"
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv set A_OK=1
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv set A_TRY=1
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv set B_OK=0
grub-editenv /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grubenv set B_TRY=0
