Virtually all newer Intel based laptops have NVMEs connected via Volume Management Device (fake raid) by default Some laptops allow to switch back to OHCI, but many don't provide that option In VMD mode nvme drives can't be detected without vmd driver, which is missing in Gentoo installation media, making it impossible to install Need to inclde vmd.ko
Same issue in Arch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68704 My particular laptop is HP Spectre X360 13t-aw200 Similar issue for same laptop here https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-nvme-disk-not-found-at-boot-after-install/61616 Similar arch discussion https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251762 Again, there are workarounds for some laptops that allow to disable VMD in BIOS, but HP laptops don't provide that option, making nvme disks invisible
per arch bug the list of hardware is broad enough to hopefully justify the high priority HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eg0xxx Dell Inspiron 5406 Asus Zenbook UX325 Dell XPS 13 9310

This should be included in the next amd64 installcd & admincd autobuilds
I confirm it works now
Thanks for the followup
