Desktop PC - can’t boot from external SSD

I have a full AMD desktop PC and I want to try Bazzite installed on an external SSD, but I can’t. I created an installer (first with fedora media writer, then with ventoy), the installation succeeded without error in both cases, but after the first reboot the operating system does not start. All I can see is a circle spinning around with the Bazzite logo at the bottom of the screen and after a couple of minutes I get a black screen with some text saying “You are in emergency mode.” Enabling/disabling secure boot did nothing. Can anyone help? CPU: Ryzen 5900x Motherboard: MSI B550 Tomahawk GPU: AMD 6800xt

I managed to get it working by first installing Fedora Kinoite to the external SSD (which went fine and it booted up without an error), than rebased it to Bazzite. Now Bazzite boots up fine from my external SSD....

We don't support booting from external media, could be a laundry list of issues.
