I tested 4.18.3 also, no joy.

@george1421 when the trouble machine boots into the test kernel (bzImage4183) it’s unable to get past the iPXE process:

 bzImage4183... ok
 Could not select:  Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e008081)
 Could not boot:  Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e008081)
 Could not boot:  Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e008081)

I did also confirm that it’s using uefi, that secure boot is disabled and that legacy roms are also disabled.

@george1421 sorry I just had a moment to get back to you. I’m running Kernel 4.17.0 and have “Host Kernel Arguments” = nvme_load=YES, booting into debug running lsblk returns nothing.

I have this same issue and have several machines in stock to test with if needed. However, I’m not nearly as Linux savvy as hlalex. I appreciate the effort you two have already put into it.
