Hello!

USB-3 is still not to be considered rock-solid, there are some 
circumstances in which there are problems.

If you have USB-2-only hardware on the host there are no problems.

Maybe you have a usb-2 port on the docking station or an older USB-hub 
that may work(?)


But wait, i have booted my laptop the day before yesterday with the 
2023-10 usb image to repair my rpool, that worked flawlessly.., its a 
DELL precision 7720 USB-3 port

Maybe you can switch between legacy and UEFI boot ??

Regards,

Stephan
