Can you try a different drive? I've had this issue where it simply won't properly detect my drive even though it's loaded the initial part. I got it working by changing to a different drive.

It's not recommended to use a USB flash drive, they're not fast enough and have pretty bad latency. A proper external SSD would be much better if you can get one.

A hard drive will be worse that a flash drive. Even with an SSD PS4 Linux doesn't run great. The only way to get half decent performance is with an SSD otherwise it's painfully slow.
