I am also having the exact same issue, though WiFI and Nvidia drivers
worked as expected for me (with a tiny hiccup due to some intel wifi
firmware blob being bad: iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm sha1sum:
0fca9ea9041f65585fcc860f3949832a69360a6f).
I currently have a 'usable' 21.10 install that I upgraded to from 20.04
LTS.
I can only use the system when using kernel version 5.11.0-38-generic.
When doing an lshw on the 21.10 Live image, I can see that the 'NVMe SSD
Controller PM9A1/PM9A3/980PRO' section is highlighted as unknown.
Attempting to modprobe the nvme driver didn't seem to help if I recall.
I'll be happy to test any potential fix as I believe I have the same
hardware as the original reported.

Title:
ubuntu 21.10 live usb does not recognize Razer Blade 15 (2021) nvme
drive (possible kernel bug)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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:
