How to boot Ubuntu 24.04 from Thudnerbolt / USB4 drive

In my case I was able to successful install Ubuntu 24.04 by putting NVME disk inside of PC (as M2) and then putting it into external enclosure with USB4 interface. Unfortunately, it hung during boot and I had to apply following changes found here

Open grub configuration:

sudo vi /etc/default/grub


Then add following:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="thunderbolt.host_reset=0"
And finally apply changes and update grub configuration:
sudo update-grub

After that it will work just fine.
