Bug Description
I am booting an Ubuntu Server 19.10 image (ubuntu-
The installer does recognize the NVME initially but when the installation finally starts it does no longer recognize the path to the NVMe and says:
Error: Could not stat device /dev/disk/
...
An error occured handling 'disk-nvme0n1': OSError - [Errno Failed to find device at path: %s] /dev/disk/
...
Traceback:
...
File "/snap/
This possible bug was also reported for Intel architecture: https:/
Current workaround:
Follow the installer until you have specified the partitions but do not yet hit Done to apply this workaround:
- Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to enter a console outside of the installation program.
- If you are not already in a root shell: Login with the user created earlier in the installation process
- Find out your SSD ID show as folder under
/dev/disk/by-id/
- Create a symbolic link to your SSD (try with and without "nvme-" and prefix, eg. "nvme-eui.0025... and "eui.0025...":
# If you have more than one NVMe SSD you may have to change device number eg. to /dev/nvme0n2 for the second SSD...
sudo ln -s /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/disk/
- Exit the shell by pressing Ctrl+D or typing exit.
- Switch back to the installer using Ctrl+Alt+F1.
- Now choose "Done" to apply and use the partitions. The installer will continue the installation on this NVME now.
