Is PCIE x4 bootable for NVMe SSD under Linux

Nope - I have 2 problems with 4.18 and so have reverted to 4.4.132 for the moment.
  1. If I build an SDcard with 4.18 it boots fine if I have no eMMC nor NVMe plugged in. If I plug in the eMMC the boot hangs - it seems 4.18 cannot initialise eMMC ?
  2. If I boot with just SDcard & NVMe 4.18 boots fine. If I move the 4.18 rootfs to /dev/nvme0n1 (as per your page) the boot hangs. I think it is because the PCI initialisation is very late in the standard 4.18 kernel and after the rootfs is mounted (comparing a boot from the SDcard to a boot from the NVMe.)
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
