[RPi5] Can't Find M.2 SSD

USB SSD drive mounted for extra storage or NVME device attached to the PCIe connector you want to boot from?

hello

ist nur eine info

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html

Example config.txt

Boot_Order options:
The BOOT_ORDER property defines the order for the different boot modes. It is read from right to left and up to 8 digits can be defined.
In the example set above “BOOT_ORDER=0xf416” this is 6-1-4-f:
6 = First boot attempt from NVME
1 = Second boot attempt from SD card
4 = Third boot attempt from USB
f = Loop – start again at the first boot attempt

############
BOOT_UART=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
BOOT_ORDER=0xf146
PCIE_PROBE=1
dtparam=pciex1
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
include distroconfig.txt

Run 
sudo raspi-config                  -->raspi-config.png

Select Advanced Options.

Select Bootloader Version.


Select Default for factory default settings or Latest for the latest bootloader release.

Reboot with sudo reboot.

sparkplug have you added dtparam=pciex1 to /flash/config.txt?

Spotted this in Google results: https://wiki.geekworm.com/NVMe_SSD_boot_…_Raspberry_Pi_5 which states "We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a Phison controller due to their proven incompatibility:" .. and the Corsair MP600 is listed. However there are notes on the same page and posts in RPi forums that hint some devices are then working with after RPi firmware updates (and with updates from early 2024, which is some time ago now).

So three things to do:

• Update to a current LE13 nightly (these are stable)
• Update the RPi eeprom firmware to latest (can be done via LE settings add-on)
• See if adding dtparam=pciex1_gen=3 to /flash/config.txt helps

Do one thing at a time so you can see what made the difference, should it start working. If it doesn't, I'll be pointing fingers at the Phison controller and suspecting not-all issues are resolved.

EDIT: Also share the URL from "dmesg | paste" so we can see if there's something in the system log.

RPi5:~ # ls -l /dev/nvme*
crw-------    1 root     root      243,   0 Dec  6 03:29 /dev/nvme0
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      259,   0 Dec  6 03:29 /dev/nvme0n1
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      259,   1 Dec  6 03:29 /dev/nvme0n1p1
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      259,   2 Dec  6 03:29 /dev/nvme0n1p2

If you do ^ that, do you see at least /dev/nvme0 listed? - I'm not really seeing any errors but there's no mention of any partitions being checked or mounted. The probable and logical explanation for that would simply be that none exist on the drive and you need to create one, e.g. (not 100% sure of the commands here, am working from memory):

parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 mklabel gpt
parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 mkpart primary ext4 40s 100%
parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 name 1 'MEDIA'
mkfs.ext4 -L "MEDIA" /dev/nvme0n1p1
fsck.ext4 -y /dev/nvme0n1p1

If that's not the issue I'm unsure what the actual issue is, so hard to advise.

Yup, looks like the device is present but there are no paritions/filesystems - You need to create one. The commands I shared in the second code-block above should fix that.

Show the output of all the commands, in sequence, or copy/paste to pastebin.com or similar.

question

why don't I read that he "flashed" or copied a (BS) Kodi on the NVMe and changed the config to NVMe!??

e.g. with https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

on usb and then reboot to the NVMe (without sd card copy) only because of the config and boot order

unfortunately I only have instructions in german
