This has also been reported as a bug in Arch: FS#68704 : [mkinitcpio] unable to boot intel nvme after install due to missing vmd module

This is a major problem, I don’t know how this has not been solved yet

Installer needs to add vmd module to mkinitcpio - Testers Needed

I just installed Manjaro onto a new laptop that uses Intel VMD by default. The installer detects the drive and installs fine, but on first reboot it is unable to find the partition and fails to an emergency shell. Some googling came up with the solution: adding vmd to MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf andregenerate. Is this something the installer should/could do for the user if it detects VMD in use?
