Hello everyone,
I just received my new laptop (Asus UX325EA). As always I want to install ArchLinux on it.
I followed the Installation guide as always. I made a dual boot with Win10 (if it is a problem, I can throw away the win10 installation and make a single boot).
With the ArchLinux ISO there is no issue, I can use my NVMe SSD, create partition, create file system, mount them, etc.
I installed systemd-boot as boot manager, as I use mainly it for some years.
The 2 only things (I guess) I never made is using an NVMe SSD as main drive and using a BTRFS (I want to try out this FS after years of ext4) partition as root partition (I created only a root partition, no dedicated home partition).
When I boot up I get this :
[ 0.499894] pci 0000:00:07.0: DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid
[ 0.500586] pci 0000:00:07.2: DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid

You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.

[rootfs ]#I searched over the forum and wiki, I found out I need to load nvme module (and rerun mkinitcpio). I added nvme module in the MODULES and HOOKS sections of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (same for btrfs), run mkinitcpio -p linux command.
But it seems to add btrfs module but no indication about nvme. nvme seems to be part of the built-in modules. I double checked partuuid (on the first try I used the partition label). With the emergency shell I tried to find the nvme ssd in /dev/, but I cannot seen it.
As it works perfectly from the installation ISO, I think I only missed up some configuration somewhere, but I didn't found it.
Does anyone can help me please?

I finally found a solution, thanks to this response : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1880791
in my systemd-boot loader entry, I added "nvme_load=YES" before the root partition :
/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf :
...
options nvme_load=YES root=PARTUUID=<the partuuid of my main partition> rwOffline
