Additional Info

  1. I received this error on 5 different computers out of 7 tested (for example, Intel i7-12700K + Asus Prime H610M-K D4 or Ryzen 7 5700G + MSI B450 Tomahawk). The boot was successful only on the laptop Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro JYU4057CN and virtual machine VMWare Workstation 17.5.2.
  2. My other external SSD (Samsung T5 1 TB, Kingston XS2000 2 TB) with system encryption (configured in the same way as steps above describe) works correctly on all tested system configuration
  3. I tried turning secure boot on and off, but it had no effect on the error.
