This discussion was created from the release Home Assistant OS 15.0.

[michalsimek]

Works fine on AMD/Xilinx kd240.

[Anto79-ops]

There are no issues on installation and bootup on my NUC 12 (x86-64, bare-metal) with USB SkyConnect and USB Aeotec Z-Stick 7.

The system is running normally.

[foddy-foo]

Updated my HA installation, running on Proxmox. No issues seen.

[brugk000]

Can confirm this

[Th3K1ngP1n]

Confirm +1

[santi8ago8]

+1, update without issues.

[danez]

I'm trying the update on my raspberry pi 5. It starts the update, reboots, but then still 14.2 is reported and the update is offered again.

[danners430]

Same behaviour here... not confident enough to play around with the bootloader though!

[sairon]

There is definitely something fishy with RPi 5 updates, with one known problem already fixed in OS 15. Hopefully we'll get down to that in #3943.

[pablopezg]

Same here, but from 14.1. I didn't try again to update it or modify the bootloader. I will wait for a fix on it.

[danez]

So reading the cold boot recommendation, that is what maybe solved it for me too and not the bootloader update. When switching between rasberry os and haos SD card i always unplugged power of course.

[derkorte]

Updated my Pi 5 8GB from 14.2 to 15 without any problems.
Core: 2025.3.3
Supervisor: 2025.03.3

[agr-bmw]

Update my raspberry pi5 from OS 14.1. No issues seen and OS Version 15 is reported in HA.

[bly1tz]

+1 same.

Note: I think I updated from 14.2

[NickdeK]

Mine failed and now can't start the Home Assistant CLI and gets into the emergency mode
Eventually it worked again but it did not update, still 14.2 the CLI does say it's on the latest version.

[huizebruin]

What did you do, to update to the 15.0. after the error on your screen.

[NickdeK]

@huizebruin I don't know, after I think the 3rd reboot it suddenly worked. But I'm skeptical about if it's updated or not, the web ui still says 14.2.

[danners430]

I've just had two Pis go completely unresponsive while installing the update - been a good 15 minutes since the updates were initiated, and neither are reachable now... Not wanting to bash anyone, just looking for advice above all else!

[danners430]

A force reboot of the devices has unbricked them, but back to 14.2

[sairon]

Tracking in #3943.

[brugk000]

HP T620 thinclient booted back to 14.2

[huizebruin]

Same here.

[sairon]

Have you tried booting it with the display connected? Where does it get stuck?

[brugk000]

Boots into the emergency console

[sairon]

In that case it would be great if you could check output of commands requested in #3944 (comment)

[kridness]

Same here

[lpwevers]

HP T520 thin client boots, but gets stuck on can't start Home Assistant CLI and gets into the emergency mode. Booted back to 14.2 and everything's fine. I'll skip this one for now.

[sairon]

This really seems unrelated to the OS upgrade. You should check Core logs (ha core logs) if you find anything there, and rule out it's not some of the custom integrations by restarting the Core in the safe mode by ha core restart --safe-mode.

[sairon]

@lpwevers I realized the original post was hijacked with another issue. Please try checking the output of commands posted here: #3933 (reply in thread)

[hvandonge]

@lpwevers I have the same hardware, and boot is also failing. You found no solution yet? Is there an issue tracking this?

[lpwevers]

@hvandonge Nope. I just rebooted it and choose to boot the 14.2 version when grub gave me the option. I've decided to skip 15.0 and hope it'll be fixed in 15.1.

[sairon]

The root cause was later identified for these HP thin clients (and couple of other PCs that are running those AMD SoCs), see:

• HP T620 stuck after HAOS15 update #3944
• Enable amdgpu SI and CIK support for x86 #3957

[Wendelstein7]

Intel NUC (Generic x86-64) doing very well 👍

[keithr59]

Home Assistant Green updated from 14.2 to 15.0. All OK.

[wfmer]

2nd confirmation

[Peterpc58]

HP T730, get Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready.....
After 3x reboot back to 14.2

[sairon]

It should eventually drop down to a normal shell (aka "emergency console"). There you should be able to troubleshoot further, e.g. check systemctl --failed to check for failed units or check docker ps -a to see what containers are (not) running.

[amcort]

I had a similar issue. Installed HAOS 15.0 and was running fine. I shut it down to move the machine elsewhere and when trying to boot up again, it never came up in the network. Connected a monitor and saw it was stuck on the emergency console. It didn't move forward until I connected a keyboard and followed the instructions on the screen. It's been running fine since, but scared of shutting it down and having to do the little dance again.

[Zippo2000]

HP EliteDesk 800 G4 with proxmox: HA 15.0 started but gets unusable slow approx. 5 Minutes after startup, with around 30% CPU usage inside VM

[RickyKeys]

I have the exact same setup, so I'll wait a couple of days before I update.
Thanks for the warning.
Please let me know if you find a solution.

[sairon]

This was already discussed in another thread: #3933 (reply in thread)

@RickyKeys You can follow the same steps to troubleshoot your issue but the @Zippo2000's one is most probably unrelated to the OS update.

[nijave]

14.2 -> branch with kernel 6.12 (rauc cli) -> 15.0rc2 (rauc cli) -> 15.0 (gui) worked on my Beelink N150 with x86-64 generic

[kveldscholten]

I get the following error on my Pi 4

2025-03-17 22:06:50.658 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.os.manager] Fetch OTA update from https://os-artifacts.home-assistant.io/15.0/haos_rpi4-64-15.0.raucb

After restart the same error again

[sairon]

It seems something is wrong with the U-Boot environment, can you connect to the device (with keyboard and display) and run login and then fw_printenv? There might be also more detailed error in journalctl -u rauc or journalctl -t rauc after the failed update.

[Evuse]

How long it takes the update and restart? It's almost 20 minutes and still not reachable :(
Raspberrpi Pi 4b 4GB RAM

[sairon]

Once the update downloaded and applied, it should take no more than couple of minutes maximum. Can you try booting it with a display connected?

[Evuse]

I finally removed the sd card and made a new sd with a fresh Home Assistant installation, then restored from my backup (made 1 second before running the update). Now everything is fine

[lafriks]

After update ha blue (odroid n2+) won't boot anymore :(

[lafriks]

After leaving disconnected from power for night it booted up this morning, in about section shows OS 15.0 version 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sairon]

Is it running from an eMMC? What module is it using?

[lafriks]

yes, I'm using eMMC 128GB, in dev info:

DEVNAME: /dev/mmcblk1
DEVPATH: /devices/platform/soc/ffe07000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/block/mmcblk1
DEVTYPE: disk

ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_MMC: '1'
ID_NAME: Y29128
ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE: dos
ID_PART_TABLE_UUID: '48617373'

[DavinKD]

Tried with a Pi 5 and system was unresponsive. Did a hard reboot and it was still at 14.2. Ran the update again and it succeeded.

[sairon]

Issues like this are tracked in #3943. This just shows it's an intermittent problem.

[sassetto]

Raspberry Pi4b 2GB ram --> everything ok!
I'd like to increase swap size but I don't find "/etc/default" directory. Can anybody help me plz? Thanks.

[sairon]

Sorry for teasing, the interface for setting the swap/swappiness will come shortly in a CLI plugin update, but the OS part needed to be done first. To avoid fiddling with files in /etc, you can use the DBus interface to set the value, e.g. to set it to 2 GB:

gdbus call --system --dest io.hass.os --object-path /io/hass/os/Config/Swap --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set io.hass.os.Config.Swap SwapSize "<'2G'>"

The swapfile will be recreated on another reboot. However, be warned it's not advisable to use swap extensively if the data partition is on the SD card.

[sassetto]

Ok, thank you: i'll wait for it. :-) My installation is on a external usb disk with enough free space.

[decibelio99]

Hi,
It doesn't work in Odroid N2 with emmc
I have had to install a before version

[Tanjohnson99]

Synology VM > OK !

[CH-Tefi]

HI
I've an intel n100 nuc. After updateing no response. Reboot 14.2. This for 2 times
I'm waiting now.

I wonder, was any of the BIOS options set to a different value before? With previous versions some people reported the VT-d had to be actually disabled: #3474

[Miketmechanic]

Hello everyone, My HA Yellow with CM5 & Samsung NVME would not update to 14.2, so I started a fresh and loaded from scratch, completely erased (not formatted) the SSD and eMMC. It has come to update to 15.0 and it will not update again. ANy help would be really appreciated. Is there anyway i can do it through the terminal manually ?

[jeroen-vd-nl]

No luck here on a RPI5
Update downloaded and installed, rebooted, HAOS still on 14.2

[Miketmechanic]

Same here

[Flerbizky]

Dell Wyse 5070 thin client with M.2 SATA SSD and 8Gb of memory - bare-metal install - no issues upgrading.

[gaalday]

Same problem on Intel NUC x86 after upgrading to 15.0 from 14.2...
Got it alive after booting with no ethernet cable connected. Still on 14.2.

[sairon]

What NUC exactly? Would it be possible to connect an HDMI display and update with it connected to see where it gets stuck? If it falls into the emergency console, check dmesg -l warn+ for errors. Eventually, there might be something in the Host logs for previous boots (click three dots and select previous boot in "Show HAOS startups").

[gaalday]

Hi sairon: Intel NUC DN2820FYKH
https://www.intel.la/content/www/xl/es/products/sku/78953/intel-nuc-kit-dn2820fykh/specifications.html

I'm not able to identify anything special on previous boot log. A lot of network events.
You can see it attached (from 10:40 on 19/03/25 - yesterday).
host_2025-03-20T07-33-32.982Z.log

Will try a new upgrade with a display connected this weekend.

[sairon]

Unfortunately nothing there, the last log line from 2025-03-19 10:40:49.634 is when it rebooted after the OS update. In case the device doesn't boot fully, the boot might not be shown in the list of boots, however, there might be still logs if you keep scrolling up in them. Can you check whether you see something after that log line from 10:40:49 that is not the boot to the working slot? Should start with something like homeassistant kernel: Linux version 6.12.18-haos.

[brugk000]

I tryed this suggestion:
sed -i.bak "s/$/ modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu/" /mnt/boot/cmdline.txt

I have en empty /mnt directory if I ssh into HA

[sairon]

If it's not SSH on port 22222, then you're connecting to a container that has no access to the boot partition. As I wrote, direct display/keyboard connection or "developer SSH" access is needed.

[brugk000]

Stupid mistake. Sorry for this.
The suggested workaround works on the T620.
Thanks

[mirbusak]

Hello, I also have an HP T620, can you please post a working solution for updating to 15.0? I'm a complete layman, could you describe it for laymen how to do the update? Thank you very much. Martin
