\nTrying on both a Pi5 4gb and Pi5 8 gb.
\nUsing the following NVME SSDs:
\n1. PC SN530 256GB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD Solid State Drive SDBPTPZ-256G-1012
\n2. Lexar NM620 SSD 512GB PCIe Gen3 NVMe M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 3300MB\/s Read, for Gamers and PC Enthusiasts (LNM620X512G-RNNNU)
\nBoth were tops of the charts for the pineberry pi adapters. Perhaps I should have just bought their solution.
\nhttps:\/\/docs.pineberrypi.com\/nvme-compatibility-list<\/a><\/p>\n
Edit: Update. I got it working finally!<\/p>\n
Had to use the NVMe BASE with the Lexar NM620. That finally booted!
\nSeems you have to get the right SSD with the right nvme adapter board or no dice.<\/p>\n
Also, FYI, I’m using the geekworm 27W 5Amp AC adapter (US). Don’t have an original one yet. Those might give more success maybe?<\/p>\n
I’ll also try the other three generic\/knockoff boards again with other drives and let you know my findings. But so far they’re not working.<\/p>\n
So perhaps stay with the NVMe BASE or the pineberry pi boards? They may be less trouble overall.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps.<\/p>\n

Anyway for all the others:
\nI got into quite similar issues with my rpi 5 with Geekworm X1001 and Patriot P300 nvme.<\/p>\n
I’ve added<\/p>\n
Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n to config.txt and<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n to eeprom config Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n so, i’ve updated the eeprom to the latest version:<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n and rebooted my rpi. At boot, I’ve feelt some hope as a LED on my nvme started blinking. But it stopped after a few seconds. Anyway, once the system booted up, i could see some progress, as lspci was showing something:<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n However, lsblk still could not detect my nvme. So i’ve checked dmesg and found this:<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n which game me more hope. So, next I’ve tried this:<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n and, sure enough, now my nvme is available and usable:<\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n However, can’t boot from it, as at boot it is failing with that message from dmesg. The funny part is that I’ve tried my main PC’s nvme (samsung 980) in RPi and it works without issues, but i did not want\/have not time to migrate the data. So it feels like a software issue; waiting for a new firmware or something, or maybe i’ll just give up and get another samsung 980 to use it in my rpi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have registered just because you gave me the final solution and i wanted to say thank you. I bought geekworm X1001 and bought a Micron 2200 NVMe SSD drive with Phison controller (it’s written at geekworm’s wiki that some types of phisons are incompatible) Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\n Code:\u00a0Select all<\/a><\/p>\ndtparam=nvme\r\ndtparam=pciex1_gen=2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\nBOOT_ORDER=0xf416\r\nPCIE_PROBE=1\r\n\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
