Hard Disk Sentinel Revision History

Hard Disk Sentinel 5.50 (11/7/2019)

Intel® VMD is technology on to root ports of Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, which redirects NVMe. SSD insertion and removal PCIe bus events to storage aware drivers. Dfx audio sound enhancer full crack by sami zehen. These events previously had to be handled, with varying degrees of success, by a combination of system BIOS and Operating System. Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) is an enterprise, hybrid RAID solution, specifically designed for NVMe. SSDs connected directly to the CPU. Intel® VROC is made possible by the new CPU feature Intel® Volume Management Device, Intel® VMD, a new hardware architecture on Intel.

Improvements and new features:

Details

Description:
A fresh install is unable to boot from intel nvme due to missing module 'vmd'.
The nvme device doesn't show up during initrd due to this. The missing root device causes boot failure.
mkinitcpio should include vmd in block hook by default.
Workaround:
Add vmd to mkinitcpio.conf MODULES array.
Additional info:
* mkinitcpio 29-1
* HOOKS=(base systemd keyboard autodetect modconf block sd-encrypt sd-lvm2 filesystems fsck)
* dracut included the module in: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/d23f32dd4b927f4ac6c6a67c2ff17d5c82a132c9#diff-ce156d6151c76992972bd142959fed0fb9e1bd6db64927811d403a525a13e80d
