I have an rPi 4
Revision : c03115
Serial : 10000000a414a5d1
Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5
I was running 64 bit bookworm
I attempted to follow the instructions here:
https://gist.github.com/avoidik/d8fc39a372db680090edd5322d60848f
Got as far as step 3 where I ran just sudo rpi-clone -s
I didn't continue because I wanted to sort some issues with my USB
After I shutdown, I attempted to start up my rPi but it wouldn't boot anymore.
Any help would be appreciate.. I have the SD card now plugged in on the USB port and I can see all my files are still there. I am running my rPi an another SD card that I had created. still bit bookworm.. just not with all my critical files on it.
This repo is no longer maintained and therefore outdated. Just visit this repo which is maintained and has various updates and in particular an important update for bookworm 😉
Thank you very much. I will. in the meantime, is there anything I can do to get my sd card to boot?
Your clone doesn't boot because the PARTUUID in /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt was not updated because of a change in Bookworm. Either update the PARTUUID with vi or use my tiny synctool https://github.com/framps/raspberryTools/blob/master/syncUUIDs.sh. This tool checks for a mismatch and can update the incorrect PARTUUIDs.
@ndehchef Forget my previous comment I just deleted. Everything is fine with syncUUIDs. I was puzzled because one leftover statement in the code.
Thanks.. But I didn't clone. Its my original SD that's not booting. I never went through with the cloning and stopped before running the actual clone command. The only command I ran after cloning the repo and doing the setup is sudo rpi-clone -s
My fault. I thought you're talking about the clone.
I did a quick code check and as far as I can see rpi-clone-setup just updates /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. But this should happen on a device mounted on /mnt/clone - not on the running OS 🤔 .
But the system should boot even with another hostname. Nevertheless I would check these two files and correct the hostname if it was changed.
Do you have a screen connected and see any messages during boot?
If you don't get it fixed I suggest to head over to another clone and maintained repository and create an issue there 😉
I googled and found that something was messed up with the partitions and a script usb-boot help fix it. Sorry it has taken over a day to resolve all the issues. Thanks for your help. I will head over to the new repo and start again with the cloning.
