Troubleshooting • PI5 not booting from USB SSD drive (but does from sd)

Hi,

So the fact : my RPI5B 8G does not boot on my Intenso TX-100 USB portable SSD (Raspberry pi OS lite, headless), led fixed green on RPI, fixed blue on SSD.

What did I did :

• Code:

  sudo apt full-upgrade

  'ed the RPI -> was already up to date

• Upgraded power supply and USB C-C cable -> power supply 65W, cable 100W

• (Read almost all this forum, and googled for hours -> no success)

• Flashed an sd card with the same OS -> booted successfully

• Plugged the SSD with the OS on the sd card -> could mount it (SDA1) and read / write content

• Flashed a USB stick with same OS -> RPI don't boot on it

Looks to me like my RPI/power supply/SSD device works fine, but can't boot. And now I'm out of ideas, could you bring me some ?
