I have a problem setting up another RPi5. I want to boot from a NVME SSD and this time I have the adapter from Pineberry in use.
I know the necessary adjustments.
In contrast to the first installation, I wanted to use the new image of the RPi5. Booting from the SD also works, but when I make the necessary adjustments using
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
I get the following error message after saving:
ERROR: EEPROM image ‘WARNING: flashrom not found. Setting RPI_EEPROM_USE_FLASHROM to 0 /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader-2712/default/pieeprom-2024-02-16.bin’ not found.
I also tried to update the kernel, but, sorry I don’t have the error message anymore, something with RPi4 would give out.
Now I wanted to run the first workaround, where first the system is booted on a RPi4, then a script or command had to be executed to then boot the SD in the RPi5. Then the necessary adjustments for the use of an NVME SSD were made and the system was copied to the NVME SSD using backup and restore. I think that’s what I did. In any case, the first RPi5 is still running wonderfully.
I just can’t find the thread about it in the forum.
Who can help?
I meant, of course, what is saved when i enter sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
A line is then edited there and another one added, which should then look like this in the best case:
I just entered the same command under PiOS and it worked.

Thank you very much for your support so far.
ok we found it. There is a dependency to a package required that is not installed by default on DietPi
apt install flashrom
working now

strange that RPI developer did not create a dependency between flashrom and rpi-eeprom.
It now works to my satisfaction.
I would like to thank you again and again for the great support here in the forum.
They also respond to my not always so qualified questions and try to find out what I might mean.
And that’s exactly what I find so good here, because if I knew everything, I wouldn’t ask any questions here. TOP, TOP, TOP!!!
