Umbrel v0.3.14 Kanakit raspberry pi4 8MB doesnt detect USB

1

Installed v0.3.14 Umbrel on new Kanakit raspberry pi4 8Gb
Getting to stage where web page shows “there was an error connection your internal drive”

Dmesg shows an issue with the Usb and lsusb doesnt list the devices
Harddrive is 1TB SDD but also a regular usb drive is not detected.

It’s worth to note that all usb works fine with the raspberry pi4 operating system.
Any recommendation?
fyi, mount information in operating system shows
/dev/sda1 on /media/pi/a9xxxxxxx type ext4

Do i need to add something similar to make this work in the umbrel mtab?
I think first we need to understand why usb2 and usb3 are not detected .

Or does Umbrel require a specific format of the SSD drive to detect it and is thrown off
if it doesnt recognize it? What is the recommended SSD disk format?

Finally, some more output from dmesg

I found the issue.
It was the usbA-to-usbC cable that i used to connect the raspberry
to my 1Tb SSD disk that.
When using a different cable to connect i was able to discover and mount the ext4 disk.

Here the additional steps:
boot up without disk, then check out UUID and add mount directory and add to fstab.

Before plug in:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
After plug in of the 1GSSD into USB3 plug, now the Bus 001 Device 003 shows up.

Also, the disk is now is showing up and i was able to mount it.
