  • A temporary work-around, to be able to boot from the SDUF, is to disconnect and reconnect it WHILE the kernel is loading,
    or shortly after (while still looking for the rootfs). The kernel then detects the SDUF properly and the boot process continues successfully.

Yeah. I forgot to mention that my original Sandisk Cruzer Ultra 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive would boot if I waited for the kernel to drop me to a busybox shell. Then, I would unplug and then re-insert the drive, wait a few seconds until all the kernel messages had finished printing the and the device nodes were properly configured, and then I’d type “exit” and the drive would boot.

But, since I RMA-ed that drive, I no longer have this issue.
