Beginners • [Rpi 5] 512 GB SD Card Can't boot

Hi everyone, hope all is well.

I am having a very weird issue. When I am using the default 32GB card (that comes along with the Rpi 5 bundle I bought) it works fine without any issues.

However, I feel 32GB was too small for future projects (along with all the software packages I am going to install) so I bought a 512 GB Samsung Evo Select SD card.

I used Raspberry Pi Imager software to reformat it to FAT32 format, then install the latest Raspberry OS image (2023-12-05-raspios-bookworm-arm64.img).

However, everytime it boots pass the Raspberry Pi logo, it goes into a black screen with the following:I reformated it, and install the latest OS image again and again to try but it still goes to that busybox screen. I even just use the normal image as shown on the Rp Imager (Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit) but same issue.

When I slot back the 32GB card, no issues and it just boots to desktop.

I am dead confused here. Can anyone help me?
