Have a dell lattitude 5580.
It originally had a 500M nvme card that was showing as SDA
Installed a 1TB SSD drive and imaged the 500M to 1TB and it
showd up as SDB. Booted fine after swapping out nvme since they
had same UUID for partitions.
Went to upgrade the SDB 1TB to nvme 2TB. But ended up with a
non-bootable system.
Did image, and removed the SSD SDB drive from computer, but
booting fails with message it can't find partitions with UUID?
logging in with debug root password, and chec, the UUIDs, and
they match exactly for all partitions. Difference is that partitions
are not showing as /dev/sd? setting but as /dev/nvme....
fstab has
UUID=de10a0a9-fd86-4625-a768-67477a8a802d /
ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=01d61794-271a-4d17-a901-47afee995382 /boot
ext4 defaults 1 2

UUID=375c1b5d-f295-4319-8014-cb800bb6a938 /data2
ext4 defaults 1 2
And the uuids are same on the /dev/sdb and /dev/nvme....
Machine boots fine with only /dev/sdb installed, but if only the nvme
drive it after a long time comes up with a failed boot and drops to
the root debug login.
So have no clue why it isn't working when the UUIDs are exactly
the same. Image is a straight dd image.
At moment, I'm doing a clean install of Fedora 42 to the 2TB nvme
on another Dell 5580 and it it also, showing nvme??
Will have to do a lot of manual work to setup it up to have the setup
I need rather than just image?
Any ideals on what might have caused the fail, or ways to fix it.
Tried using recovery kernel option, but does same thing.
The nvme driver might not be in the initramfs. Try booting the rescue
option which includes all the drivers.
