I am also having the exact same issue, though WiFI and Nvidia drivers worked as expected for me (with a tiny hiccup due to some intel wifi firmware blob being bad: iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm sha1sum: 0fca9ea9041f65585fcc860f3949832a69360a6f).
I currently have a 'usable' 21.10 install that I upgraded to from 20.04 LTS. I can only use the system when using kernel version 5.11.0-38-generic. When doing an lshw on the 21.10 Live image, I can see that the 'NVMe SSD Controller PM9A1/PM9A3/980PRO' section is highlighted as unknown. Attempting to modprobe the nvme driver didn't seem to help if I recall. I'll be happy to test any potential fix as I believe I have the same hardware as the original reported. -- 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/1950087 Title: ubuntu 21.10 live usb does not recognize Razer Blade 15 (2021) nvme drive (possible kernel bug) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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. My short-term solution has been to install a 20.04 release using a wired internet connection, followed by upgrading to 21.04. This configuration then works, however if I upgrade again to 21.10 the internal drive again becomes undetectable, making it impossible to boot the OS. 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1950087/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
