I have A pi4 powered by the recommended 3a? pi psu, and i am trying to use and boot of a 128Gb Intel ssd in a noname usb3 enclosure (old/early as it uses the old 2part micro usb connection). current pi-os upto date.
Neither lsbl;k, or lsusb are aware of the device,
I downloaded a usb boot image with pi imager and flashed it to a 2nd sd card, stopped the pi-os exchabged the sd card for the usb boot image card and booted (headless and waited 10 mins or so.
rebooting with the original sd card - no change.
plugging the usb/ssd into a pi-0-w running a 32bit version of the same os it shows up fine and allows a clone of the sd card ok.google suggested to disable UASP, but when i looked deeper this seems to address disk issues once the devices are visible..
Pointers towards next steps would be appreciated, Thanks.
EDIT- I had thought the boot firmware required had already been loaded as on selecting the boot order via raspi-config, it did the ui blink back to the shell and returned ok iirc?
