snapshotId can only be modified on EBS devices

Issue:-

I am trying to launch an instance, and I'm adding an EBS volume on top of the root volume. In the extra EBS volume, I'm specifying a snapshot I created. When I click "Launch", I immediately get the following error:

snapshotId can only be modified on EBS devices  
​Solution:-

The solution which worked for me was to use an available AWS recommended device name e.g. /dev/sdf. AWS recommended device name for attaching EBS volume is /dev/sd[f-p]
