Dear All,
By installing TrueNAS 24.04 and upgrading to 25.04 my ME Mini is now operational. I reviewed all the threads Davide sent including
Installation failed on eMMC Odroid H4+
which includes comments about my hardware and decided before plunging in modifying Python code in the installer I would try the 24.04 install and it worked. I have now upgraded to 25.04 and have restarted my configuration.
I have learnt a lot about emmc chips and their challenges!
Many thanks to Davide for your kind assistance and patience!
Best regards, Colin
