Our system can not install SLES 11 SP4 well on NVME disk. system always show up error like as attached. I tried to install on SATA is fine. so i am guessing is this issue cause by NVME driver? Does any one can share what is going on? Thanks for help.

Configuration:
Intel Grantley platform with Broadwell-EP CPU
Intel 3700 NVME 800GB

Hi shoumin,

i am guessing is this issue cause by NVME driver

it indeed looks related to the driver (or more specific, the driver/hardware combo) and as compatibility issues may be very specific to the hardware used and the driver shipped (including backports done by SUSE), I suggest to contact SUSE directly (via a service request) for a most specific evaluation.

Regards,
J

Hi
Did you check the NVME starting block alignment (divisible by 4096)? As an aside was the SATA device you tried also a new device with newer sector size?

Did it always fail on the oefd-kmp package install? If so, did you check the md5sum of the image before copying to your install medium (which was USB or DVD)?

What was the disk partitioning used?
