I have tried 7 different USB cords, 2 Pi4 4gb sbc’s, 3 sd cards 3 different SD card readers and 2 different PC’s using balena etcher, and rpi imager. Tried reflashing eeprom, using SD card boot and USB boot( mainly SD card since USB issue)And for the life of me I cannot get the PiFi system to fully boot and activate either the Internel PiFi network or the PiFi kit network. This is the screen I keep getting stuck at idk what I’m doing wrong. Please help!!!
Can you make the following change to cmdline.txt (it’s designed for SD but this change will allow USB boot)
console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=squashfs,ext4 rootwait

Booting from USB drive works just fine after cmdline edit. But SD card won’t boot on PiFi with or without edit. Default rasbian os boots just fine tho on sdcard. As in image above it seems to be failing to load a few modules from sdcard. But not from USB. I’m using latest image from PiFi downloads page. USB boot log in below image.
TLDR; Boots fine from USB, PiFi network visible. Fails to load modules when booted from SD card. Using latest PiFi downloads image.
The current image on /downloads is stable with many successful installs — assuming the bootloader isn’t set to USB with peripherals connected, I’d suggest flashing the universal image below to clear any residual SD partitions that may be causing the issue:
Ok using sdcard boot with the universal image works just fine but using the PiFi latest downloads only seems to work when setup for USB boot. Maybe there’s an issue with the latest files? Either way thank you. It is working now with the universal image.
