Sadly, it also doesn't boot, even with the internal MMC eeprom configuration, which is booting fine if I hold the user button, my eeprom configuration is
Features: 0xf1 (es8328,pcie,gbit,hdmi,eepromoops)
Edit:
To add more information, my ssd partition table looks like this:

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sda3 8456192 488397167 479940976 228,9G 83 Linux
And when I execute the installation script, the error I get is this:

It seems that the truncate command fails, I will try to investigate more.
With the rsinc method I don't have any problems along the procedure, it just doesn't boot in the end.
