This is probably an issue with the initramfs built for this kernel, and
not with the kernel itself. Please send the output of the command:
lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-12-amd64

If you wait for about 30 seconds you should get a shell with the prompt
"(initramfs)". At the shell prompt, run:
ls -l /dev/nvme*
Are the expected partitions listed?
