Bug Description

Due to a bug in the HardWare Lister (lshw), which can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1695343. NVME drives are currently not detected by GetDevInfo, and do not show up in the "Disk Information" window of programs that use GetDevInfo.

Unfortunately I was only recently made aware of this issue, as I don't currently have a system which can use NVME drives.

I aim to fix this soon, but this will only be a partial fix until this is fully fixed in lshw. It should nevertheless be enough to use the programs with NVME drives.

This is partially fixed for WxFixBoot now, as a result of the new GetDevInfo release, 1.0.6.

However, operating systems that reside on NVME disks may not be detected reliably on WxFixBoot currently. I'm investigating the cause of this bug and aim to produce a fix soon.

Confirmed that this causes problems in WxFixBoot - EFI partition detection is broken on NVME disks because of this bug.

I will fix and release a new version of GetDevInfo soon to fix this issue.
