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:/
