I’m pretty sure this will end up the same way. The fact that you can’t install straight away from the image link I provided you is not good - and I think also explains why the update isn’t working. Something has changed in between which makes your unit fail…
You don’t have a ‘Display 1’ lying around, do you?
I have a Display 1 that that is hooked to a Pi4 running Ropieee.
Ok…
Never mind. I might have a clue what’s going on… So I’m preparing a new image for you to try out…
I’ll get back to you asap.
@Will_Grice ,
Can you try this one?

Thanks Harry, no luck here either. Boot screen comes on and doesn’t come back on after ….Running Configure…
Ok, but forget about the screens. Does the image results in a working Pi 5? Because you get to the ‘running configure’…
It does not unfortunately.
I’m confused. The image I gave you earlier did not work at all: no booting system, no way to reach the web interface.
Now, with the latest image, you are talking about ‘running configure’… so something is happening, right? Can you reach the web interface? Or what do mean with ‘running configure’?
Two RPi4s and one RPi3b (with display 1), all functioning as expected. Zone selection seems to be working, also.
Two RPi4s are on RoPieee 2025.03 (2248) [BETA]. Kernel version: 6.6.78-SPCKFSH-v8+
One RPi3B is on RoPieee 2025.03 (2245) [BETA]. Kernel version: 6.6.78-SPCKFSH-v7+
Unit 1
Unit 2
Unit 3
Yes. Something is happening, but after this screen(image attached) the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I am not able to access it through the web interface(ropieee.local), I have also checked under the audio settings in Roon and under “Devices” through the web interface of my other 2 Pi’s with Ropieee. No the device isn’t showing up on either. The status light on the Pi 5 is solid Orange
Ok, that means that my change ‘improved’ things a bit: we can boot now.
Hope you still have the patience in doing the testing … 
Anyways, I’m preparing another image for you. I’ll let you know when it’s available.
I need to be careful here, but I think we’re almost there…
Thanks!
Hi @Will_Grice ,
Can you try this one?
https://image.ropieee.io/ropieeexl_ose_pi5-2025.3.0-beta.20250316.2253.bin
Thank you for your efforts @spockfish. The latest image does the same behavior as before. Boot screen comes on. No action after that and no access via IP address and solid orange status light on Pi.
That’s unfortunate.
Question is what to do now. I would love to see what is exactly going on… I also think I know why your unit is causing issues (and many other Pi5s, including my own are working fine): you have a newer revision (1.1 vs 1.0), which requires some changes.
Would it be possible for you to mount the ‘Display 1’ on the 5 and try again?
The ‘Display 1’ shows more stuff out of the box, which might help in figuring out what’s going on.
If not, which I totally understand, I’ll buy myself a new Pi5 to figure it out locally.
Thanks
You are a generous soul, Harry!
Apropos nothing, once this thread settles down, I’m going to probably move one of my systems from an Yggdrasil to a Holo Cyan 2, which means that I won’t need my Pi2AES any more, and I can buy a Display 2 and move my Pi4 over to it.
Sure thing. I’ll do that. It will probably take me a little bit before I’m able but I’ll let you know asap. Thanks @spockfish!
Ok, so Display 2 works with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 on RoPieee 2025.03 (2248) [BETA].
Display 1 with Raspberry Pi 5 isn’t working. Display never turned on (which is fine) and IP access isn’t available. This is with Beta 2025.03 (2253) that you provided earlier. Status light blinks from Red to Orange.
I hope that this is helpful.
Will
How do I get the beta for RPi4? I would like to try with Display 2
@Charles_Snider Under the “Advanced” tab, toggle to Beta under “Update Channel” and you will get a push in an hour or so.
