NVME (0x6) removal from BOOT_ORDER not honored

[AlphaDE]

Describe the bug

I added a Pineberry Pi BM1L HatDrive! Bottom NVME adapter with a 512GB NVME to my Raspberry Pi 5. After setting up, I changed the boot-order with sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit to BOOT_ORDER=0xf416. Later due to an error in fstab, I got stuck in emergency mode and tried to recover. Despite removing "0x6" from the BOOT_ORDER, the Pi 5 bootet from the NVME as long as it was connected making it impossible to boot from sdcard, mount the NVME partition and fix the issue. Also changing the order (61) which should boot from sdcard first does boot from NVME despite a sdcard is inserted. When 0x6 is removed from BOOT_ORDER or moved back, Pi 5 should not try to boot from NVME anymore or honor boot order. BOOT_ORDER=0xf461 boots from NVME despite connected sdcard.

An article on the German heise.de website mentions the issue, too: "Nachdem wir das Booten von der NVMe-SSD aktiviert hatten, konnten wir allerdings nicht mehr zur SD-Karte wechseln, selbst wenn wir die SSD komplett aus der Boot-Reihenfolge entfernen." After we activated booting from NVMe-SSD, we could not change back to the SD-card even when we removed the NVMe-SSD completely from the boot-order.

Works for me. I suspect it's something to do with PCIE_PROBE=1. Are the partition name different on your ssd and sd cards?

[AlphaDE]

The instructions I found refer to use this and docs say to use it, if the hat is not HAT+. I found no reference whether the Pineberry BM1L is Hat+ or not.

[timg236]

Please can you attach boot loader logs showing the behaviour and verify that you don’t have the same partition uuid on both the sd and the sd card. Otherwise, it’s not possible to predict which partition the kernel will mount.

[AlphaDE]

@timg236 The partition IDs might be the reason. The howtos for setting up an NVMe recommend to setup the system on sdcard and then use SD Card Copier to transfer the data to the NVMe. But that leads obviously to identical partition UUIDs on both media and then the "broken" NVME took precende. I'll see how I can modify the partition UUIDs on the sdcard.

[timg236]

That would be explain it. I normally use rpi imager on pc with usb nvme adapter or boot from a one off rpi is sd boot and run the imager on rpi os to flash the local nvme.

[AlphaDE]

Digging deeper I found that partition 1 of the sdcard was mount to /boot/firmware and partition 2 of the NVMe as /, I changed the sdcard uuid with fdisk which should have fixed that. The NVMe How-To need to be reworked to avoid that confusion.

Should be fixed.
