LE12 on RPI5 : freezing issues with USB3 HDD connected

    Hi everyone,


    I received my RPI5 today, with official case and power supply.

    I installed LE12 stable and I connected my 2 USB HDD (NTFS) on the Pi's USB3 ports.

    Everytime, the PI5 freeze, I have to cut the power and try again, for the same results.

    Tried with the other two ports, same.

    I tried different solutions, as add to my config.txt this line :
    usb_max_current_enable=1

    No results.


    Can anyone help me please on this ?

    Thank you !

    • Check all USB drives for errors.
    • Make sure both drives get enough wattage. If it works with one drive, and fails with two, then that case is very likely.

    PS: To get enough wattage for multiple drives, use a USB hub with separate power supply.

    I have the same. In 11.06 everything worked fine. In 11.09 and 12.0 as soon as i use an USB 3.0 5tb with the raspberry pi 5 the raspberry freezes and when I remove the usb it works again. (i have 5 raspberry PI 5 they all do the same)

    I am back to 11.06 and everything works again or I use Windows 11 PRO that also works fine with the disk on the same PI.

    (i use the usb disk to watch films and series and TV (IPTV))

    Can you install LE 12 on a spare microSD, and replicate the issue? If it's a software issue, then we want to find the bug.

    Please provide a full debug log.
