I’m repurposing a former full node: Raspberry Pi 4 8GB + 1TB USB SSD. I’ve updated the EEPROM image to ‘latest,’ and I’ve used Raspberry Pi Imager to write Ubuntu 22 LTS to my SSD. It will not boot. The same image written to an SD card boots successfully. Anyone have tips? 🙏🏼

Check the SSD partition boot flag?
Check the bios boot sequence?
The second is good. SD, if present, otherwise USB.
How do I check/change the boot flag?
I assume Raspberry Pi Imager should set that, no?
Yeah, not necessarily, because I guess 99.9% folks just want a portable storage device, but don't want to boot from it.
The external drive enclosure has been the problem for me before, if you've ruled out everything else. It was only a problem on the Pi, and only a problem when trying to boot from it. I've also had it not boot unless it was on a powered USB hub, so that's worth a shot as well.
This is helpful (and curious), thanks. The drive has worked without problem when it was just mass storage for raspitblitz.
Any progress?
Does the pi have different kinds of USB ports or are they identical in all ways?
Solved. 👍🏼 Pi 4 has 2 USB 2 + USB 3 ports.
