Hello,

I have a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe SSD plugged into my tx2 with a PCIe adapter. Without the drive plugged in, everything is fine, but when I plug it in the desktop does not show up and I can’t access the drive.

CONFIG_BLOCK_DEV_NVME is enabled in the kernel.

Here is the output of dmesg | grep nvme:

what PCI adapter?
are you using M.2 nvme?

IIRC, you may also have to rebuild kernel with CONFIG_PCI_TEGRA as builtin instead of module.
If

gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_PCI_TEGRA

shows

CONFIG_PCI_TEGRA=m

you may try this.
If it rather shows:

CONFIG_PCI_TEGRA=y

then it’s ok, forget this advice.
