NVMe shows in lspci but not in lsblk/fdisk/etc.

Hi! This issue is quite similar to this one, unfortunately the guy didn't get quite the help...

So my girlfriend's laptop doesn't want to boot from its drive anymore. So I mounted an archiso and tried to debug.
The internal drive doesn't show in lsblk, fdisk, parted, etc... doesn't even create a file under /dev, but, the controller is detected since lspci shows it.

Output of lsblk:

loop0    7:0    0 689.8M  1 loop /run/archiso/airootfs
sda      8:0    1  14.6G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    1   782M  0 part /run/archiso/bootmnt
└─sda2   8:2    1    13M  0 part

As you can clearly see only the pendrive containing the archiso is displayed.

Output of fdisk -l:

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Again, nothing about the internal drive...

But, check this from lspci:

02:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Toshiba Corporation BG3 NVMe SSD Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express])

        Capabilities: [400] L1 PM Substates
        Kernel modules: nvme

And this from dmesg:

[   35.385311] nvme nvme0: Device not ready; aborting reset, CSTS=0x3
[   35.385370] nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: -19

She cares about the content...
Could somebody help me? At least to debug it better.
Thanks a lot

first thought that comes to my mind is something is dying. are you able to try a different nvme in the slot?

Not quite the other thread (different CSTS and the nvme module is assigned to the device)

Booted with the kernel parameter iommu=soft as described in the wiki without any luck!

Also, in the link provided, the wiki seems to address the issue of "suspend failures". I cannot boot so...
