I was suspecting hardware, eeprom, firmware because I could not boot from the USB no matter what I tried. This is the same hardware that was doing great until I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt full-upgrade. The image I downloaded to use with RPI Imager was newer, but I doubt that was the problem
Anyway, I managed to get it to boot from the USB drive after populating cmdline.txt. I found it to be empty and had never seen that before, so I copied the one from the function SD CARD boot cmdline.txt and I only changed the root=PARTUUID= to match the partuuid of /dev/sda2 which is where my USB OS partition is. Now it boots fine but after I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (not full upgrade just yet) I did get asked if I wanted to proceed this time, and I pressed N for now until I make sure I can get the dmesg before and after.
After I do the apt full-upgrade I will post the dmesg. Thanks for all the help!!!
