Anyhow I'm curious what those 3 lines mean? i know 3 lines show up on a successful boot at that portion as well then continues to boot but once again they go by so quickly I'm not sure what they say....like at all.
The sda related messages means the disc has been read by the system and I would expect to see a list of partitions found on the disc in the following messages ( referring to sda1, sda2 since there are 2 partition).
Maybe there's not enough power supplied by the 'charger' you're using and the disc cannot be initialized ? Can you try with a RPI certified power source ?
I do not have a certified rpi power source available to me however I find it hard to believe that there is insufficient power supplied as the ROG ally oem charger should be sufficient at the following specifications:
The ROG Ally OEM charger is a 65W USB Type C power adapter.
Here's a breakdown of its specifications:
Model: ADP-65JWY2A or ADP-65SDD2A.
Power: 65W.
Voltage: 20V.
Amperage: 3.25A.
Connector: USB-C.
Plug Type: US (American).
I did find a different link when googling some of those errors and found that it’s possible it is the data to usb chipset on the external hdd (source: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=330384 )
The above site does list a few things to try and to try to eliminate the still potential power problem an maybe the data to usb controller problem I ordered a different external enclosure that is independently powered as well ( this enclosure: https://a.co/d/fWlN5rW ). I already have a different sabernet data to usb adapter that is NOT independently powered that works ok with my (off brand and for some reason slow) 2.5 ssd hdd so hopefully the powered one solves my issues.
If I still have problems I will try some of the other remedies mentioned there as well as the way back machine link that is in that thread as well.
If you have any other feedback or ideas please feel free to post them and feel free to have a read on that thread as well.
