Only images that run wizard on installation works

[mizifih]

I don't know why, bot apparently only images that, on the first boot, run some sort of wizard, like Manjaro and Ubuntu, are the ones that I can install. Can it be the storage size being a problem? I never considered the fact that it's a M.2 SATA card adapted to USB. Tried PiOS from the repository, used cifs to load TwisterOS and RetroPi from my home server, it didn't work either, they're listed, added to the Pi, but don't work. I get that "A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-label/boot", "Dependency failed for /boot", "Dependency failed for Local File Systems", bla bla bla, "You are in emergency mode bla bla bla, "Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked", bla bla bla, "Press enter to continue".

Tried google, no joy. What could it be?

Pi4 8GB
Argon One M.2
1TB M.2 SATA (don't judge me, I want options)
64GB SD Card (overkill, but it's what I have)
