Hi Zach, > I recently got Fedora 33 Server booting on my RPI 4 - 8G using the RPI4 UEFI firmware. The usb3 adapter I used worked fine with Raspbian, but with Fedora 33, there was an issue. I've worked around this issue and another involving F33 complaining about the lack of sd card. These are my brief notes, hopefully they help someone. If a longer write up or a bug report would be helpful, I'm happy to do so. Also looking for feedback if I could have done anything better/different. Thanks for the outline here. I think the write up is fine here, I've added a few notes below. Let me know what bits we can improve in Fedora. > Hardware: > RPI 4B - 8G model > 128G "Inland" brand ssd - OEM Phison - Model 'SATA AAD' > Orico Brand SATA to USB3 external enclosure - model 'ORICO 2139U3' > - uses JMicron Technology Corp.
