Is PCIE x4 bootable for NVMe SSD under Linux
#34
That is exactly what we need to deal -- for Kernel4.18, build initramfs to include pcie and nvme 2 modules inside.
When Kernel is loaded, those modules can be instantiated immediately before re-mounting rootfs which we want to mount nvme device as rootfs.

There is another issue I found, lxde and mate desktop have some conflict with nvme disk.
When I use LXDE release image, after I login, the system hangs when MVMe disk is inserted (the red led on my PCIe -M.2 adapter is turned on, then off).
When I use minimal release image, MVMe disk is recognized (the red led on my PCIe -M.2 adapter is turned on and keeps on)
Based on minimal release image, I installed Ubuntu-Mate-Deskstop and LightDM. The systems works after I log in, but MVMe disk is not recognized (the red led on my PCIe -M.2 adapter is turned on, then off).

I think there are some Memory Address or IRQ conflict between GUI module and nvme module.

Could someone repeat and report the same issue, or it just happened to me?
