[BUG] Embedded: Pi 4: Imager doesn't see my USB SATA drive #795
Comments
Suspect the problem is that it is an UAS protocol bridge claiming the drive is non-removable. Can you try if booting the following files from a FAT32 formatted SD card works better? |
It was working previously with the embedded Imager, so something's changed.
Is there a way of getting to a shell within the Network Install environment
to have a look? Also this was working fine on Pi 5 with this exact same
drive last week.
I will give the zip file a try shortly.

Probably the lsblk version, which we outsource disk enumeration to.
Yes, put blockingshell in cmdline.txt There are more problems with UAS drives. |
Thanks - the files in the zip file worked - drive shows up and I can successfully image the drive 👍 |
@andrum993 Just confirming - did you later encounter the issues that @maxnet suggested may occur? |
No. This is a known working setup - the only part that wasn't working was embedded Imager, until maxnet fixed it. I was waiting until the fix showed up in the Network Install version of embedded Imager before I closed this issue. I've just checked, and the fix has not yet made it to Network Install, so I would propose to keep this issue open. |
Agreed - I'll hold it open until we've actually got the network install version out. |
Just a heads up that Network Install is now enabled in the default bootloader EEPROM on Pi 5, but this bug prevents its use on any drive that Linux uses UAS on. Hopefully embedded Imager will get updated soon🤞 |
Hi @tdewey-rpi. Do you have an ETA for when this fix will find its way into Network Install - starting to get a bit annoying. |
I've not had the bandwidth to look at this yet, but will take a look this week as it may address a range of concerns with the embedded Imager. |
I can confirm that this is still broken for PI 4. |
