UEFI and NVME/M.2 Drives

In my journey to get my favorite Linux OS(Slackware Linux) up and running, I have encountered a terrible problem. Many of you have probably helped me figure out UEFI install and my errors in that realm. I have found out that my problem did not lie in the EFI partition, but rather the type of drive I was using.

I don't remembered where I read this, but I found out that ELILO doesn't like NVME drives very much. It has something to do with namespaces that I don't understand. So to solve my issue, I swit hed to a regular SSD and now everything is running incredibly and wonderfully on my system. Though I had once gotten Slackware to boot on my NVME drive, when I updated and then ran eliloconfig, it would not boot on the restart.

I know there is a way to solve this by updating configs and other files manually, but I would prefer my system updates to be simple by default. It doesn't hurt me to run on an SSD instead on an NVME drive. I don't honestly notice the speed difference.

In conclusion, I wanted to make this thread for any advice or updates on NVME viability with ELILO concerning the simplicity of installing and updating your Slackware Linux machines. Again, thank you to everyone who has offered advice thus far, and I am happy to have my main machine back on Slackware finally.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=9ecgXWo9P9I:_R1jLQGm2tY:F7zBnMy latest?i=9ecgXWo9P9I:_R1jLQGm2tY:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=9ecgXWo9P9I:_R1jLQGm2tY:gIN9vFw9ecgXWo9P9I
