Armbian 25.5.1 Home Assistant Image Error

[Robert Pace]

I've downloaded the Armbian 25.5.1 (Kernel 6.12) Home Assistant image (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_minimal-homeassistant), burned to microsd and rebooted the orange pi 5 plus. I burned the image to a microsd cards, inserted the microsd and did a hard reboot of the SBC. The error message is "Gave up waiting for root filesystem device."

you burned to microsd, then burned to microsd. What? 

[Robert Pace]

I burned the image to microsd via BalenaEtcher, popped it into the sbc and applied power. I have tried this two different days with two downloads of the HA image, and having burned the images to two different microsd cards with different results. Day One attempt booted but did not permit home assistant to start. Attempt two yielded the screencap and error previously mentioned.

Does regular image with same version/kernel work?

[Robert Pace]

I have 3 other Orange Pi 5 Plus running Armbian 25.5.1 Debian 12 (Bookworm) images fine. The only difference I detect is #1 The Image, and #2 the Kernel (6.1.115 vs 6.12).

Accidentally included a duplicate in the previous post's image.

 

Here is the missing SBC...I note this one has 32gb of ram vs the other's 16gb.

I'd say try flashing again with a different image, possibly one that worked in one of your other boards.  Verify the download and the flash process with checksums.
