Maybe some symptoms with my old mainboard will be helpful for general debugging this issue:
-The drive was *sometimes* recognised fine at boot in first place, showed with "lspci" and "nvme list" would give me correct output -After boot, the drive would go "missing" after a duration of approx. 5 to 1000 or more seconds for no obvious reason, here's what dmesg | grep nvme gave: [ 37.805783] nvme 0000:01:00.0: Failed status: 0xffffffff, reset controller. [ 37.825887] nvme 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3 [ 37.825934] nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: -19 [ 37.825941] nvme0n1: detected capacity change from 1024209543168 to 0 Furthermore, this could be interesting: -If I changed from default BIOS settings to overclocked ones, the NVME drive would not be seen by the _OS_ anymore -If my HDD drive was going to sleep in Ubuntu (via hdparm), the NVME drive would get disconnected _instantly_, with dmesg showing the same output as above. The two last effects were reproducible, they occured with kernels 4.4.0-53, 4.4.0-57, 4.4.0-58, 4.9.0. Especially hdparm -Y (or -y) /dev/myhdd would cause the NVME drive to become lost instantly. Hope this may be of help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626894 Title: nvme drive probe failure Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Yakkety: Fix Committed Bug description: After upgrading from linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic to proposed update linux-image-4.4.0-39-generic, NVMe drives are no longer working. dmesg shows a probe failure.
