Yellow Installation Fail

I have been trying for days to get get HA Yellow Kit to install with a CM 4 (CM4102032). The CM4 was used in a prior project.

I have gone through all the trouble shooting and tried to get HA to install via the USB. The yellow light never moves past a heartbeat.

I have since installed HA Yellow on the eMMC by mounting the device with rpiboot and using RPi imager to load HA Yellow Installer. Same issue when powered, yellow light gets stuck at heart beat. Using the serial console and running Screen the boot seems to crash right as I’m prompted for the user credentials. Last few lines are

Any idea what the issue is? Any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks.

Playing around with this again. When I go to run rpiboot it gives me a couple weird lines about not being able to open config.txt

Any ideas what’s going on? I’m still totally stuck and banging my head on the wall.

Appreciate it.

I’m also seeing this when trying to get rpiboot running on macOS to fix the same issue :frowning:
