My old Silicon Power P34A80 M.2 1TB is not found with NVMe Base RP5

Hi folks,

As the title says. I can’t get my SSD to show up. It’s a few years old, so I’m not sure if that’s what’s causing the issues. Here’s some info about my system:

OS
PRETTY_NAME=“Ubuntu 23.10”
NAME=“Ubuntu”
VERSION_ID=“23.10”
VERSION=“23.10 (Mantic Minotaur)”
VERSION_CODENAME=mantic
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian

Bootloader
sudo rpi-eeprom-update
BOOTLOADER: up to date
CURRENT: Mon Sep 25 10:44:03 UTC 2023 (1695638643)
LATEST: Mon Sep 25 10:44:03 UTC 2023 (1695638643)
RELEASE: default (/lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader-2712/default)
Use raspi-config to change the release.

sudo uname -a
Linux patooty 6.5.0-1010-raspi #13-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 18 09:08:04 UTC 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

As for configuration. In the /boot/firmware/config.txt I have this in the [all] section:
dtoverlay=
dtparam=nvme

Additionally, this is my eeprom config
rpi-eeprom-config
[all]
BOOT_UART=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
BOOT_ORDER=0xf41
PCIE_PROBE=1

What I get from lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0 7:0 0 69.1M 1 loop /snap/core22/1035
loop1 7:1 0 68.5M 1 loop /snap/core22/867

loop3 7:3 0 35.5M 1 loop /snap/snapd/20298

├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/firmware
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 477G 0 part /

I’m not sure what else to try so I hope any of you out there can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.

I noticed the bootloader is outdated (Sep 2023).

It should be updated to:

LATEST: Mon 5 Feb 14:38:34 UTC 2024 (1707143914)

Maybe it helps.

After seeing your publication I updated it to Feb-08. Still nothing… Thanks for the suggestion though!
