Note that INITRD must point to either the symlink (initrd.img) or our new img file (initrd.img-4.9.140-tegra), using the original initrd (without the extension) doesn’t work. nf line modified to: APPEND $ pci=nomsi root=/dev/nvme0n1p1 quietĪnd now it works fine.I have a single partition on the SSD (type 83).

My question: Is there something special I have to do / consider for it to work? Has someone a working configuration and has the root partition on the M.2 SSD? Is it possible at all (in case not, why)? I also went through the kernel config and made sure that NVM express block device support is enabled. I even tried to build a new kernel with USB3 support (as per the step-by-step guide - acknowledging that I am not using USB but PCIe instead). It simply reports “ No root-device: Mount failed”. When I reboot the Jetson, however, it does not come up. I followed the Boot from SSD step-by-step guide from Jetsonhacks ( Jetson Nano - Run on USB Drive - JetsonHacks), to copy everything over to the SSD as well as modify the boot parameter in nf. When the Jetson Nano is running of my SD card, I can access the SSD without problems and fdisk, format and write to it. I attached it via a M.2 B to M.2 M Adapter (as recommended in other threads here - M.2 For Ngff Key M To Key A+e Extension Cable Adapter Card With High Speed Fpc Cable For 2230/2242/2260/2280 Laptop Ssd Adapter - Add On Cards & Controller Panels - AliExpress). I am having trouble booting my Jetson Nano from my NVMe SSD.
