I have a laptop with an Intel Optane H10 drive which is just a combination of two nvme drives, one of which is much faster than the other and is used for accelerating the other which doesn’t work in Linux as Intel did not make a driver for it.
So I have optane acceleration and secure boot disabled and I tried to install Manjaro many times but it did not work so I tried other distributions. List of which worked and which did not:
Ubuntu: Boots
Linux Mint: Boots
Fedora: Boots
Arch: Does not boot
Garuda Linux: Does not boot
Manjaro (Gnome, KDE, Architect): Does not boot
Debian: Does not detect the nvme disks at all
So basically the Arch distros don’t boot
All of the Arch distros had the same error that they could not find the root partition to mount it during boot and then tell the UUID of the root partition.
As I can understand all of the distros I tested use UUID for fstab. I have been trying to troubleshoot this for a very long time.
Any help is much appreciated as Manjaro is my distro of choice and I don’t want to use any of the others.

I know that this is from Ubuntu. Read the whole post to understand.
