Attempting to Deploy Ubuntu 20.04 on an HPE DL20 Gen10 with an NVMe drive fails with the following error:
An error occured handling 'nvme0n1-part1': OSError - could not get path to dev from kname: nvme0n1p1
finish: cmd-install/stage-partitioning/builtin/cmd-block-meta: FAIL: configuring partition: nvme0n1-part1
@zrsolis, this error can occur when there’s an accent in the pathname. can you share some more information about what you were doing, like logs, inputs, command, etc?
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue on an ubuntu (mate) 24.04.
In the autoinstall.yaml storage section there is this entry:
storage:
layout:
name: lvm
password: LUKS_PASSPHRASE
match:
ssd: yes
Just what is recommended here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/automated-server-installer-config-file-reference/16613
