Ahh... that might be the case.
I have another piece of hardware that can boot from USB thumb drives just fine but needs special care to boot from a USB hard drive.

I had to add a 5 second delay to get it to boot from my 1TB external.
Since hard drives are mechanical it takes several seconds for them to spin up and operate while USB thumb drives are operating in a matter of milliseconds. This is a factor of about 1,000.
Chevy should have used a bigger timeout. Why didn't they test with external hard drives?
