• mini.iso for trixie - nvme support absent?

    From Felix Miata@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 18 07:50:02 2024
    When I boot Trixie 6.8.12 kernel from nvme:
    # lsmod | grep nvme | sort
    nvme 57344 15
    nvme_core 188416 16 nvme
    t10_pi 20480 1 nvme_core
    #
    When booting the Trixie NET installer, it reports cannot find the only available
    storage, and installation target, an NVME stick with over a dozen distros already
    installed. From smartctl:
    Model Number: Patriot M.2 P300 512GB
    Serial Number: P300...
    Firmware Version: 400fAA12
    PCI Vendor/Subsystem ID: 0x1e4b
    IEEE OUI Identifier: 0x000000
    Total NVM Capacity: 512,110,190,592 [512 GB]

    Namespace 1 Formatted LBA Size: 512
    Local Time is: Thu Jul 18 01:30:33 2024 EDT
    Firmware Updates (0x14): 2 Slots, no Reset required
    Optional Admin Commands (0x0006): Format Frmw_DL
    Optional NVM Commands (0x001f): Comp Wr_Unc DS_Mngmt Wr_Zero Sav/Sel_Feat

    Is this a known transient Trixie problem? A bug that needs reporting? Where would
    I find the modules the initialized installer asks to locate from some USB device
    or elsewhere? Are these questions only answerable on debian-devel list?
