Public bug reported: I am attempting to install Ubuntu on to a new Razer Blade 15 Advanced (mid-2021) laptop. However, there seems to be some issues with kernel compatibility. When installing 20.04 LTS I have many issues with hardware not being detected (especially the intel AX210 wifi card). Running the 21.10 release from a live usb happily detected all of my hardware out of the box, with one show-stopping exception.. the internal nvme drive is NOT visible at all.
I have tried every combination of bios options imaginable, as well as multiple Ubuntu-based distros such as Kubuntu, Pop!OS and Ubuntu Studio - all with the same results: 20.04 LTS detects the internal nvme and will install, but lacks important hardware support - while 21.10 (running in live mode) is compatible with all the essential hardware out of the box, but does not "see" the internal nvme. This seems to be an emerging issue.. see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1370379/21-10-does-not-see-windows-nvme- drive/1374079?noredirect=1#comment2364713_1374079 And the current consensus seems to be that it is a kernel bug. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: installation live nvme -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1950087 Title: ubuntu 21.10 live usb does not recognize Razer Blade 15 (2021) nvme drive (possible kernel bug) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1950087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
