· "please load material PVA natural for hotend 2" issue
When you look at the S5 display of the materials loaded in each material station bay, does it recognize that PVA is loaded?
I should first confirm you are using Ultimaker brand PVA which has the RFID feature on the side of the reel? Circular Tag.
If you press the button to eject, then remove the PVA reel entirely, then re-install it, and insert, the display should spin and then eventually recognize the reel.
I have not personally been successful loading a reel manually, but did not try too hard either. I have always been successfull if I just insert the filament and let the material station auto detect. If it fails, try again.
It would seem your problem is just with material recognition in the Material station, and the RFID solution can be touchy. It is not even getting to the point of loading to extruder 2. It just knows from Cura, that extruder 2 needs PVA. Probably not mechanical or related any particular bays. Maybe a bad RFID tag on reel.
Good luck

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
