Description swrenn 2015-11-13 05:43:55 UTC
When I boot from my NVMe device, Grub presents its rescue console. From there, Grub behaves as though it thinks my NVMe partitions are drives.

This bug has been reported upstream: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41883. 

The upstream bug has a patch attached to it. I verified that the patch does not exist in grub-2.02~beta2.tar.xz and is not in the grub-2.02_beta2-gentoo-r3.tar.xz patch tarball.

Reproducible: Always

Hi

I have the very same problem on my brand new nvme-based laptop. 

Beyond the grub-core patch mentioned here, debian had  grub[2]-install patched too as in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785149#44

patch is here:
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/grub-installer.git/commit/?id=22a8aef

I will try this this evening, hope it helps.

Hi again

sorry for the noise, the debian patch is for  a debian-specific script, not for grub itself... 

Will try with grub-9999-r1 and report here; it is very frustrating to have a brand-new gentoo system and a grub that does not want to boot it...

Same issue here, I'm using MSI GS60 070XCN, with grub-9999-r1 it works.

Same here with a Thinkpad T460s, upgrading to grub-9999-r1 fixed NVMe boot for me. It would be great if the patch could be backported to a stable grub version.

I have a stable request bug open for 2.02 beta3, which should include the fix.
