Booting from SSD/USB dont work

iAndreasiAndreas
in Repetier-Server
Hello,
does someone's Repetier-Server image run from an SSD (Pi4 firmware 16 July)? - blinking cursor on boot. However, a PiOS works without problems from SSD.
What I noticed, / boot has 96MB in this image, PiOS has 256MB. But that shouldn't be the problem.

Can someone help me please?
Many thanks

    It is the updated version of raspbian where it never worked so far i know. But if someone has a solution i add it to default image.

    I hope I can help with this so that the repeater image can be adjusted.
    Steps I've tested so far:

    #update System
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt full-upgrade

    # update firmware pi4 ver. 16. Jul
    # show current and latest version of bootloader : in my case (critical) current and latest 000137ad from 16 Apr 2020
    sudo rpi-eeprom-update

    # change FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS chanel
    sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update # set "critical" to "stable"

    # shows current and latest version of bootloader : in my case (stable) current and latest 000138a1 from 16 Jul 2020
    sudo rpi-eeprom-update

    # rpi-update needs to change /boot partition from 96 to 256 MB
    # gparted change size /boot from 96 to 256 MB
    # i use a Debian GUI and install gparted decrease /rootfs partition and increase /boot partition

    #update firmware and kernel - reboot system
    sudo rpi-update
    sudo reboot

    #install the new bootloader - reboot system
    sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -a
    sudo reboot

    #check firmware
    vcgencmd bootloader_version
    #or
    sudo rpi-eeprom-update


    At this point I tried to boot with the SD card via USB. Unfortunately, this does not work.
    The same procedure with PIOS from 2020-05-27 works without problems.

    Copy all the *.dat and *.elf files from the /boot (piOS) to /boot (repetier-server sd-card) -
    unfortunately, it doesn't work either.

    Will try that. Seems to be working only for a short time when i read this and that it requires recent versions.
