I’m trying to get HA running on RPi. I have downloaded the image of HA with HAOS, copied it onto an SD card using Raspberry Pi Imager, put the card into the Pi and powered it up. I have left it for several hours, and am now trying to connect to it. It’s connected to my network via Ethernet. If I plug a monitor in, I see pages and pages of messages, mostly saying thing like “erofs_read_mode: failed to get inode (nid:2224128)”, what does this mean? What may be wrong? How do I investigate so I can overcome whatever the problem is? How do I find the IP number of the HA device? Or can I connect to it via a name?
First if you aren’t booting bit have pages of errors that’s why but without seeing them we’re all guessing.
I CAN say what you described means either a something wrong with storage and it can’t access the drive or b it couldn’t get to the source to download (ha install pulls from Github)
Without a Pic we don’t know.
Either way you’re probably starting over but we need error messages to give any better advise.
Here’s the cookbook link for how to troubleshoot Pi.
I just tried again, using the same SD card but imaging it again. This time I didn’t see any error messages on the console, but it finished saying “Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready”. It’s been saying this for 15 minutes. I will leave it some more in case it eventually wakes up. Is there any reason why it may stick at this point?
I have just ordered a serial cable so I can log all the boot messages, but it won’t arrive for a few days.
I rebooted it, and this time after a few minutes I think I found its IP address (by looking for a MAC address starting with one of the ranges owned by Raspberry Pi). I tried browsing to the IP and it asked me for a password. Is this normal? What password should I enter (I tried “raspberry” but it didn’t work).
