General

I followed the instructions to build and setup software for the Pironman 5 Max with the Rasberry pi 5 w/ 16gb of ram and Umbrel OS on the SunFounder website. I am aslo using an NVMe drive. All has went well until I went to install pironman5.service. When I start the install it seems to be working fine and then it locks up. I have tried reinstalling the the OS and I am getting the same results. The following is the text on the screen when it locks up.

What version of the Umbrel operating system have you installed?

We have tested and confirmed that Umbrel OS 1.5 can successfully install the pironman5 software.

The installation process may take some time, so please be patient.

Also, please check your network connection. If possible, we recommend connecting via an Ethernet cable for a more stable installation.

I’m using the latest version downloaded directly from rom the website. Umbrel OS 1.5.
I am connected to the network via an Ethernet cable.
I have installed the OS several times and waited as long as 30 minutes to an hour. Should I be waiting longer?

Sorry we have been able to reproduce the same issue. We are currently working on a fix and kindly ask for your patience while we resolve this.
