I used the official Rpi Bookworm OS and I can login to Rpi by connecting the HDMI to monitor and work. Also can connnect via SSH. Just wanted to try DietPi after reading. So installed the img and connected the SSD. Now if I try to connect the HDMI to monitor, it shows no signal.
So, installed Ubuntu Desktop and tried connecting to monitor and voila! it works. So looks like DietPi only is not having video output or is not booting properly?
Can someone help me out? I’m using 4B+ 4GB and Balena Etcher to write images. Downloaded image from dietpi.com only. File name : DietPi_RPi-ARMv8-Bookworm.img
Trying to boot from SSD. As I mentioned, I installed Ubuntu for testing and it works in both HDMI as well as SSH. But DietPi is not working in both monitor and SSH. Nothing is working.
just did another test. Download latest imaged and used Rufus to flash the image to a simple USB pen stick. My RPi4B is booting fine from USB, HDMI is working and the device is reachable on SSH.
Does using SSD impacts the flow in DietPi? I am running the Rpios in SSD for last 6 months without any issues. Only with DietPi I’m facing such issues. Even tried with Ubuntu now and it boots without any issues.
When you try to boot from a SSD, does the device display something like a flashing LED code?
And for testing purposes, can you try booting from a SD card and/or USB stick if available. Just to rule out a few issues. Unfortunately, I don’t have a SSD available in my lab.
I boot from SSD with a powered USB-SATA-adapter. With unpowered adapters I always ran into issues.
Can you also assure that you picked the right image for your device?
Yes, I picked the right one. As I mentioned above, I tried other images like LibreELEC, Ubuntu and those work just fine with the same SSD. Only with DietPi I’m having this issues. Weird!
Ok I got a simple passive NVMe enclosure from Amazon today. I installed a NVMe and used Rufus on my Windows PC to flash the DietPi image. Then connected the case to the RPi4B via USB port and the system started immediately.
Tried with USB Stick and it still doesn’t boot up. I’m all out of options so planned to go with Ubuntu Server for my Pi4 and it worked just fine in the very same SSD! I used SATA SSD with a enclosure and never faced such issues before.
