Hi All
I have a Raspberry pi server which has been running in an Argon M.2 case, largely trouble free for a couple of years. It shut down sometime last week, not sure exactly when but my Alby service was not available.
I have had SD card failure but recovered the server without issue before. Now I can’t get the server to boot with either an old image or the latest asset from Github?
I get the error in the subject line when I look at the boot cosole which I suspect may be something to do with the pi’s firmware and bootloader. Does anybody recognise the fault? Would my Pi have updated/upgraded or installed firmware, I doubt it?
Would it be smart to boot the pi on a stock image without the M.2 drive attached and update the firmware etc?
You may just want to try it again. Make sure you are flashing the correct image. Otherwise, you’re likely experiencing hardware failure. The SD card would be the prime suspect.
I have tried two SD cards but both have failed in service and both have been re-formatted. I will follow the procedure on your link from scratch using a new SD card and let you know what happens.
It is possible I have a bunch of cheap “internet” SD cards which are flaky but I get the same console error using the original Panasonic 32GB card and two new & never used Sandisk 32GB
FYI: I had been using the latest image from Github and Balena Etcher for all debug attempts.
I believe I have a SD Card formatted for a (known good last boot) RPI Desktop application which I may try to boot from but with the M.2 SSD unmounted.
