Install on a Pi 5 with NVMe: boot loops after first update

Question

Fresh install on a Pi 5 with an NVMe HAT. First boot works, but after updating the OS it loops at the boot logo. Reflashed twice, same result.

Tobias Achebe · Accepted Answer

Update the Pi's bootloader EEPROM first, the old one does not know how to boot the new kernel from NVMe. Flash the bootloader image from an SD card, then reinstall.

That was it. Bootloader was from last year. Running fine now.
