I have a brand new laptop on which I want to install Fedora from the live image (Windows 10 was pre-installed, but can be removed completely). The boot process from the USB live image continues until these start jobs are running: A start job is running for Monitoring of LVM2 mirrors, snapshots etc. using dmeventd or progress polling A start job is running for udev Wait for complete device initialization Then this message appears: nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0xffff And then the system hangs. Information from the BIOS of my system: The BIOS states that the model of the sytem is: N140WU. BIOS version: 1.05.02 KBC/EL firmware version: 1.05.02 ME FW version: 11.8.50.3434 Version 2.18.1263 American Megatrends
I made a change in the BIOS in the Advanced screen to the SATA mode setting: Originally SATA mode was set to: AHCI Mode I selected for SATA mode: Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration Now the Live Fedora image boots fully. However, I do not see the SSD disk when Fedora is booted. Nor in the installer, the gparted, blivet-gui or disks. Only the USB pen with the live image is being reported. So I still cannot install Fedora to my system.
Details about the SSD: The disks is a Western Digital: WDS500G2X0C: https://products.wdc.com/library/Spe...178-800181.pdf https://products.wdc.com/library/Spe...879-810008.pdf The bios states: PCIe 1.0, WDS500G2X0C-00L350 This link suggests that the SSD is supported under Linux: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12543...and-ssd-review I also found another report describing the issue that I have with exactly the same Western Digital SSD model: https://community.wd.com/t/linux-sup...me-2018/225446

Discard comment 2 and 3, now hopefully without errors: Details about the SSD: The disks is a Western Digital: WDS500G2X0C: https://products.wdc.com/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2178-800181.pdf https://products.wdc.com/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-810008.pdf The bios states: PCIe 1.0, WDS500G2X0C-00L350 This link suggests that the SSD is supported under Linux: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12543/the-western-digital-wd-black-3d-nand-ssd-review I also found another report describing the issue that I have with exactly the same Western Digital SSD model: https://community.wd.com/t/linux-support-for-wd-black-nvme-2018/225446

I replaced the WD Black SSD with a: 500GB Samsung 970 EVO NVME PCI-e 3.0 x4, M.2 This SSD is recognized correctly and Fedora 28 is running fine on it now. I leave this bug open, because I'm not sure whether the issue was related to Fedora Linux or the SSD.
See this link for a solution (I did not test it, because I do not have the disk any more): https://community.wd.com/t/linux-support-for-wd-black-nvme-2018/225446/9?u=chrisyuan
We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 28 kernel bugs. Fedora 28 has now been rebased to 4.18.10-300.fc28. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 29, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 29. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Per this link[1] the fix is to: In the GRUB boot menu, press e to edit startup parameter Add nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 by the end of quiet splash Ctrl-x to boot up, the installer should detect this disk in partition step. After finishing finish installation, press shift while power on to enter GRUB again, add same kernel parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500, Ctrl-x to boot up. You will see Ubuntu boot up successfully, edit /etc/default/grub, add parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 again, execute sudo update-grub. so that every time boot up will contain this parameter in the grub automatically, no more manually edit.

The information at the link of the previous comment suggests that this issue has not been solved.
