This is a “is this the right place”, combined with an “I don’t have any idea how to diagnose this” query.
I bought my RPi 5 from DigiKey Feb 18, 2024. It took me a bit of time to get the related components (required power supply, case 52Pi Mini Tower, Samsung 860 1TB SATA M.2) and case for the M.2 drive). I finally got the case put together, flashed the 860 from the Raspberry Pi imager V1.8, transferred the cables from the Pi 4, and powered the RPi 5 on.
I get a terminal window with the message “USB boot requires high current (5 volt 5 amp) power supply”. Since this is what I have, I tried the power supply on the Pi 4, which successfully booted. I’m not sure if that told me anything useful besides the power supply being functional.The RPi 5 then tried to boot by going into a boot loop.
The term messages continue to say that I could hit the power button to bypass the power check. Hitting the power button turned the thing off, so I tried hitting the reset button. The RPi 5 then stops retrying, finishing in a terminal window with no GUI, with initramfs as the prompt.
I have to wonder now if the Pi 5 itself has a problem. The only other thing to try is re-flashing the 860. What should I do next?
