[SOLVED] Unable to boot into OS after installation. nvme not visible.
I've installed the OS as I've done many times before, this time on a new computer (Dell XPS 9510).
The installation media booted fine and the process was fairly straight forward.
After installation, when I tried to boot into the OS I'm getting:
https://ibb.co/WVm3V1B
-----
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/nvme0n1p7
Error: Device '/dev/nvme0n1p7' not found. Skipping fsck.
:: mounting '/dev/nvme0n1p7' on real root
mount: /new_root: not filesystem type specified
You are now being dropped into emergency shell.
-----
Once I get dropped into emergency shell, I can see that the nvme stuff is missing from /dev
Installation media boots fine and sees the nvme devices.
Anyone has an idea how to correct this ?

Known bug.
Try either making sure that your drive is set to AHCI mode in your firmware menu or adding the vmd hook to your initramfs.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to boot into OS after installation. nvme not visible.
Thank you Slithery, your post led me to a solution.
Just for posterity, vdm is not a hook but a module, as you have stated in an older post here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269731
FYI, I'm using the vmd solution as this machine is a dual boot with windows 11 on it. I've tried switching to AHCI mode but that prevents Windows 11 from booting.
Anyways, thank you for your support.
