Can't boot pi4 from disk with 4096 logical block size #1840

Open abaumgaertner opened 1 year ago

abaumgaertner commented 1 year ago

Trying to boot of 4k logical sector size disk. Manually setup GPT layout on large disk on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4

Device Model: ST18000NM003D-3DL103 Firmware Version: SN03 Sector Size: 4096 bytes logical/physical

Disk is connected via ASM235 (USB to SATA) and detected by bootloader.

Bootloop with error: MSD unsupported block size 4096 bootloader CURRENT: Wed Jan 11 17:40:52 UTC 2023 (1673458852) VL805_FW: CURRENT: 000138c0

Same setup boots fine with disk set to 512bytes logical sector emulation.

Yes, that's not supported by the bootloader.

I'm having the same problem. Is this ever going to be supported by the bootloader?

Ditto for the Pi 5. Looks like I can't use a 4kn NVME drive without enabling 512e mode.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/nvme-format.1.en bootloader does not support 4096, only 512

I understand that, but was hoping that support could be added.

It's on the TODO list (with many other things), priority would be Pi5 NVMe first, USB later, Pi4 etc afterwards
