Nvme base crashes

Hiya,

I have a rpi 5- 8gb with official cooler, power supply etc

I got a lovely nvme base for Christmas - and went out to ebay to buy a new Kingston 128GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD om8pgp4128p.

Walked through the setup steps and everything goes swimmingly - boots up a treat - but then the rpi locks up solid at some stage later - normally within a day.

Tried some smarctl tests on the ssd - and the rpi had been up happily for as long as i wanted it to previously when booting from sd.

There’s nothing particular on the this rpi to cause any kind of cpu activity - it’s only my trying to logon to it to install stuff that made me discover it ‘dies’.

Nothing of note in any log - it just freezes. Any ideas?

Since doing the steps to make it boot off the ssd, it no longer properly boots from the sd card when i disconnect the nvme board ( and spamming space to force sd-boot) - could be looking for h/w that isn’t there is my guess but surely it should error and move on. Need to check if it can boot from a clean sd boot image again.

Best regards,

Mark

Hola,

trying to copy some stuff off the SD card and it seems I lost /bin or maybe everything - again no errors etc. Bah

-bash: which: command not found

-bash: /usr/bin/ls: Input/output error

Anyway got the files I wanted. Going to try with another image.

Raspi-config is lastest version as is firmware and anything else I can get my hands on to upgrade!

Cheers,
