Home Assistant OS 17.2

[sairon]

Changes

Home Assistant OS 17.2 brings Buildroot 2025.02.12, Docker v29.3.1, and various reliability improvements. Wi-Fi powersave is now disabled by default for all connections to improve wireless stability. The number of DNS queries from connectivity checks has been reduced, and sets foundation to allow the Supervisor more time for graceful shutdown during system power-off. The Linux kernel has been updated to the latest stable version across all targets. This is the last planned release of 17.x series using the Linux kernel 6.12. All users are encouraged to upgrade.

This discussion was created from the release Home Assistant OS 17.2.

[brugk000]

Works on proxmox vm

[adriaandotcom]

Seems to be very slow now. App loads in a few seconds instead of within 1.

Component	Version
Installation method	Home Assistant OS
Core	2026.4.1
Supervisor	2026.03.3
Operating System	17.2
Frontend	20260325.6

[mikester80]

My upgrade has been installing for 10+ minutes

Edit: turns out the back up manager hung. Had to hard reboot.

[starliquid]

On proxmox VM significant Ram usage increase after installing.

Happy 200th release in gh

[ovm-soft]

I was not that lucky :)
Raspberry PI 400
"Unable to read partition as FAT" after update to 17.2

[jjlacrampe]

Lastly, when I start haos_generic-aarch64-17.2.qcow2 on my freebox ultra, I am asked for a login and a password.
What should I answer

[hemaris-8b]

Upgrade from 17.1 to 17.2: No issues with HA Yellow/CM5. CPU load dropped from ~20% to 15%

[acibo]

Unable to upgrade from 17.1 to 17.2 on Raspberry PI 5 w/ ssd. Hangs waiting for CLI, after showing errors along the way:

[60.188871] I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 465256 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 60 prio class 2
[60.188913] erofs: (device mmcblk0p3): z_erofs_read_folio: read error -5 @ 9860 of nid 6119552

If I Ctrl-Alt-Del after waiting for CLI, the Raspberry PI reboots fine, running v17.1. Checking diags show no errors or issues so not sure where to go from here.

[josy1024]

the 17.2 update could maybe check the bootloader eeprom firmware version on raspi4 ;-)

APP: Home Assistant Community App: Advanced SSH & Web Terminal
https://github.com/hassio-addons/app-ssh

after following the firmware update steps:
#4627 (comment)

• check firmware version
• make new firmware sdcard ( https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ Raspberry Pi 4 -> Misc utility images -> Bootloader (Pi 4 family) -> SD Card Boot. )
• swap to "firmware" sdcard and onetimeboot, wait some secs until green blinking
• powerdown and insert HA sd card and boot to HA
• check firmeware version again
• update to 17.2

>>  check firmware command:
➜  ~  docker container exec homeassistant /usr/bin/vcgencmd bootloader_version

2026/01/09 16:12:13

Can you clarify the issue with the boot loader on R Pi 4B. I have a RPI4B v1.1 (not 1.4) - will this have the boot loader issue ? (I run it with an SSD not off the SD card - if that makes a difference).

[jackherer27]

Same case for me
RPI4B v1.1 (not 1.4)
I understood that this issue comes only on 1.4 because this revision introduced a new voltage controller and a different PCIe implementation. This specific hardware change necessitates an up-to-date EEPROM bootloader for the HAOS 17.2 Linux kernel to initialize USB ports properly.
But I'm not so confident at this stage to launch this update.

[david-b13]

I can confirm I tried the process of using an additional SD card that @sairon pointed me to - to update the boot loader, and it seems to have worked fine. I have subsequently updated OS and HA, and all working great ! 👍

[sairon]

Also, according to my testing and information I got so far, rev 1.1 is fine, see: #4647

[eddiewebb]

Something in this release caused weird networking issues on x86 device, affecting all hosted containers including homeassistant. My solution was to revert to 17.0
