Also, please note that the NVMe adapter kit had mechanical problems.  Sorry, I do not know which one is currently shipping with the PBP.  A repair kit  will be shipped to those who received the earlier version.  Please make sure that yours is the updated version before installing it.

I followed that tutorial too with the same result.

I read the next comment on IRC: <mrfixit2001> Right now the uboot won’t allow booting off the PCIe devices. But that’s something that will change in the future.

I took out the NVME adapter.
I'm going to wait for news about this case.
Finally succes.

Removed default Debian from PBP; 
    Bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.9.14-1159 image unxz and dd to sdcard.
Startup PBP with sdcard.
Download the image again, unxz and dd to EMMC. 
Check with Gparted EMMC boot partition= fat16.
Quit, remove sdcard en start PBP again.
Mount the nvme SSD drive (ext4)
    sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt (do check the device)
copy the root file system from EMMC to nvme SSD
    sudo cp -avx / /mnt
Label the nvme partition with Gparted: NVME
Change root in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
    root=LABEL=NVME
Reboot and check with $ sudo lsblk -f


Pinebook Pro Ubuntu 18.04.3 Mate now booting from EMMC and rootfs from NVME.
Works really like a charm.

Hi,are you sure that you are running the OS from the NVME?
The first time that I tried I modified the SD boot file, instead of the one on the eMMC. So basically i didn't modified the eMMC's boot partition file.
I will try again later.
I'm running Manjaro right now.
