Use the live installation iso usb stick to boot into the live environment. Mount the nvme01p2 (your installed home partition) to /mnt (must be root) su mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt Chroot into it: artix-chroot /mnt Then we need to make some adjustments nano /etc/default/grub Change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "nvme_load=YES" And update it: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Then: nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf Change the Modules from an empty string to "vmd" And also the line that has autodetect and block in it. Make sure that block is listed before autodetect in the line up. And update it: mkinitcpio -P And that's it, reboot, remove your installation media, and you're good.
