I’m trying to boot a permanently installed Linux from a portable SSD on my Surface Go 3.
The SSD has GRUB installed on it and basically works just line any other portable Linux. I have confirmed that it definitely boots.
I currently use it with a direct USB-C to USB-A Adapter (that supports 3.0) and it “works”. It boots as it should, but the Surface Go 3 only has one single USB-C port and therefore I can’t use any external devices (e.g. USB peripherals).
Now, I’ve tried it with a USB hub that also supports USB 3.0 but can’t get the drive to boot. In theory, it should work just fine, as it boots with a direct adapter using 3.0 as well.
The Surface Go has all the latest firmware updates installed.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be and how I can try to fix it?
