Hard drive upgrade problems again

So this is one more upgrade post, but with a twist.
I have a 1tb usb ssd that i want to replace with a 2tb m.2. I cloned the drive using DHD’s guide, but umbrel always wants to start a fresh setup with the new drive connected. M.2 slot as well as usb case. If i connect the original drive it works fine.
I use a raspberry pi 5 with a waveshare PoE & m.2 hat.
What am i missing?
I don’t care if i have to do a reinstall as i want to switch to knots anyway, but i don’t want to lose my chanels.
