Hi Ben,
Thanks for your time and support.
No module loaded at all.
Indeed. But the root device is there anyway, presumably because the
nvme driver is built-in.
I remember moving to builtin as a first try to fix the error. I can
switch back but anyway the module will be loaded so...
So I think the "No such device" error is
actually because the *filesystem* module fails to load.
Or maybe the /dev is not correctly created/populated by kernel...
The no such device in the picture in the previous mail sound more like
an incorrect/impossible dev access (but I know mount error can be esoteric).
So I have more questions:
- Your kernel config has ext4 enabled as a module. Is that the root
filesystem type?

- Using the bad initramfs, in the rescue shell:
Will do later. I need to rebuild again the kernel.
- What does "echo $ROOTFSTYPE" print?
- What does "cat /proc/filesystems" print?
- What does "modprobe fs-ext4" print, if anything?
Is this a particular syntax : I have ext4 module not fs-ext4?

- If you then exit the rescue shell, does the boot process succeed?
No. I get first a long list of command and if I exit again a kernel
panic from memory.
More latter on.
