RPi4 B Rev 1.1: USB3.0 Highspeed USB-Boot with SSD doesn't work (but USB2.0 boots)

[drose28357]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I attached a NVMe-USB-Adapter to my RPi4 Rev1.1 with a USB3.1 connection. It boots fine with RPiOS.
The i flashed Home assistant 2026.4 with HAOS 17.2 on that SSD drive.
It doesn't boot. The i changed to an USB2.0 connection (by cable) and it boots fine. But i didn't get the full speed of an USB 3.0 connection.

I am aware of "RPi 4B: Complete USB subsystem failure after update to HAOS 17.2 #4627".

I checked and updated eeprom to the latest version (2026-01-09 newest available from RPi foundation shown in eeprom-update)

I switched from HAOS 17.2 to HAOS 17.1

I made screenshots wirh my mobile phone
Successfull boot:

1. USB-boot_RPi4_USB2-normalspeed_eeprom => RPi Booteeprom finds MSD
2. USB-boot_RPi4_USB2-normalspeed_u-boot => u-boot initialised xhci_pci and finds a storage device and later on starts booting

No boot:
3) USB-boot_RPi4_USB3-highspeed-eeprom => RPi Booteeprom finds MSD
4) USB-boot_RPi4_USB3-highspeed-u-boot => u-boot could not scan xhci_pci for devices and did not find a storage device and did unsucsessfull retries.

It seems to be an u-boot problem with failed intialisation of the xhci_pci. Maybe this problem is also related to #4627 .

What operating system image do you use?

rpi4-64 (Raspberry Pi 4/400 64-bit OS)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

17.2

Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No

Hardware details

It doesn't work with HAOS 17.1 as well as HAOS17.2 :

HAOS-Version:
Installationsmethode Home Assistant OS
Core 2026.4.2
Supervisor 2026.04.0
Operating System 17.1
Frontend 20260325.7

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Connect monitor to mini-hdmi
2. Connect an NVMe-SSD-Adapter to USB-Port with Highspeed cable (USB3.0 or USB3.1)
3. Make pictures of the screen
4. Change cable to USB2.0 and repeat.

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

No logs because no boot.

Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us?

Becaus u-boot didn't find the NVMe-Drive it couldn't boot
