Thanks for taking time to look at this bug. Due to this nvme issue I am not able to go to newer kernels that have important security fixes. Here are the results.
4.4.0-60 (linux-image-4.4.0-40-generic-4.4.0-40.60): Boots fine but no nvme devices are listed under 'lspci'. I did check that nvme kernel module was loaded fine. 4.4.0-61 (linux-image-4.4.0-41-generic_4.4.0-41.61): Boots fine and nvme devices are shown with lspci and 'nvme list' commands. Looks like the last known good kernel version is 4.4.0-61. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695780 Title: On VMware ESXi with PCI passthru enabled for Intel NVMe Ubuntu Xenial VM does not boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1695780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
