Dear @Wheaten
Sounds good!
Maybe you can help me - again …
I’ve just tried to get Volumio running on my Pi5 (my PIMORONI NVME Base and corresponding Samsung NVME M2 SSD 980 was at home as I arrived today from my business trip).
Unfortunately I’m not successful at all
Have set all parameters according first post in this thread and tried twice the “Volumio/System” Option “write to disk” - but this failed twice. Process ran fast to 30%, flickers, the Volumio “waiting clock” appears shortly and background disappears, all stops, copy window disappears and Volumio comes back.
No message, nothing. And: NVME don’t boot.
To double check if I have config/cabling etc. correct I’ve booted a fresh bookworm SD and wrote this SD image via “SD-copier” to NVME.
NVME boots without any issue.
Than I reboot with SD bookworm, put Volumio SD card in an USB-reader and used SD-copier to copy Volumio SD to NVME -(copy) worked - but didn’t boot either.
Last trial: I copied latest version of Volumio .img file to the Raspi5, boot bookworm again from SD and used Raspi Imager to copy Volumio img to NVME.
(Copy) Worked, but didn’t boot.
Any additional idea?
I’m clueless right now…
Thanks for any hint!
Warm regards,
Ralf

PCIE_PROBE=1
The update of /boot/config.txt or /boot/firmware/config.txt with overlays:
dtparam=nvme
dtparam=pciex1_gen=2
Is according this thread NOT necessary - so I have done this NOT.
2nd EDIT: Just found a spare USB-NVME adapter so I had a look at the NVME drive from my Laptop - Image is there, Seems absolutely “normal” …
3rd EDIT: I’ve double checked and tried the Volumio/System/Write to disk a third time.
same behaviour - no message nothing, system stops shortly and comes back.
But image IS written.
(as a “view” check allows this statement…). - the NVME disk looks alike the view before - with direct raspi-imager writing…
So my conclusion is, it’s not about the (physical) image - this arrives on disk on all ways - but disk is not willing to boot Volumio…
Any Idea?
THANKS!
Ralf
