Hi all. I always seem to get impossible problems....
Take a pi4 and two disks - both sata connected by a sata to usb adapter.
One is a small real disk drive, the other a Kingston SSD. Both have been
in the spares cupboard for a while.
I put an old arm64 version of bookworm onto the spinner. Works fine.
I put the exact same onto the ssd. Won`t boot, with messages like
timed out waiting for udev to be empty
or
read error on /dev/sda [details not recorded]
there seems to be no obvious fault with the ssd as such - it was working
as expected when put into storage, and a scan with badblock -w is
currently at 80% with no errors.
I`ve swapped the pi4 psu for a pi5 psu in case supply current was an
issue. No change.
I`ve run dd over much of the ssd (under mint) both reading and writing,
but no errors.
Is there anything weird that I might have missed about booting from an
ssd rather than a real disk?
TIA for any thoughts.
