Upgrading HAOS 12.1 to 12.3 fails on RPi 3

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hey,
I have tried to upgrade HAOS from 12.1 to 12.3 on my RPi 3 several times now and it fails every time.

Tried:

  1. Normal upgrade through web UI = fail :x:
  2. Flashing new 12.3 and boot = fail :x:
  3. Flashing new 12.1 and boot = success :negative_squared_cross_mark: and can restore backup thankfully

Logs from #2 are:

Hm, the errors seem related to changes in harware configuration while the landing page was running. Did you see the welcome page?

While there are errors in the logs, it seems that download of the Core started:

2024-05-14 19:07:40.811 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.docker.interface] Downloading docker image ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-64-homeassistant with tag 2024.5.3.

I think if you’d wait long enough, it should work ultimately.

As for why the update fails it is hard to tell without logs. If this continues to be a problem, open an issue in the Home Assistant Operating System GitHub issue tracker.

Hi @agners ,

I did another attempt with #2 (flash a fresh image, restore etc)

First boot I got this (with the same log as above):

image
image595×875 41.8 KB

Left it there for a while and then the screen appeared to upload a backup so I did that. Then it took a long time and several reboots it seems until it could start correctly.
But finally it worked BUT a simple reboot afterwards means HA to “reboot” several times, at least dashboard gets partly available and then “disconnected” …currently not reachable for a long time.

Nah, I stick with 12.1 for now

RPi 3B running HA OS12.1 will NOT properly update to 12.3. It starts up and loads various items the pauses at the loading of ZHA and instead of comming through it the system reboots and it gets stuck in that loop.

Likewise I will restore it back to my fullbackup at 12.1 till this is resolved. For reference I have been through the process of reflashing the SD card and onboarding several times and it does the same thing each time. The SD card is fine as when it restores to backup everything is working fine, and the 12.1 update caused no problems.

Same here. 12.3 killed my ZHA setup. Had to delete it and rename each entity when they all came back with new default names. I seem to be running OK on 12.2 now, although HA is using about 50% more memory than it did before.

I was a bit surprised. Never had a problem with an OS update before. This one took me a few days to recover from, and I’m still not done.

Issues with OS 12.3 have been accumulating here:

After changing Aeotec z-stick from gen5 to gen5+, I upgraded to RPi v4 and now running 12.3

8

Therein lies a clue to the problem. If HAOS 12.2 uses 50% more memory then that could be the issue, the RPi3 B I have has 1GB of RAM and 70-78% is normally used with my HAOS 12.1 install. It looks likely that HAOS 12.3 will probably use more RAM than HAOS 12.2, so I guess I need a hardware platform upgrade to run HAOS 12.3 with my HA setup.

Or try increasing your swap file size to 2 gb.

10

As I have an micro SD card for external memory it is not ideal to create a swap file that can cause regularly writes to the SD resulting ultimately in its failure. I have already had one SD card fail on me using HA.
I think its time to update to hardware wiith more RAM so that a swap file setup is not required. It appears that HAOS V12.4 does the same thing as V12.3, crashing the RPi3 at attempt to run up ZHA.

11

Here is my view on SD card reliability: SD Card Reliability.

All problems with HAOS update now fixed after moving from RPi3 to VM on a NUC. My son set the NUC up with the VM and it works much better now there are no memory constraints affecting the system. Further more its very fast, so restoring a backup (87MB) takes a couple of minutes not tens of minutes. I think based on this I would recomend migrating from RPi3. Just create a full backup first so you can restore on the HA setup on a new machine.
