So, i'm trying to install Kali alongside Win 11 on my 1TB NVMe drive and I encountered a weird issue, which has never happened to me before:
The Kali installer fails to mount my devices NVMe drive (Intel Optane(R) memory (32GB) coupled with a 1TB NVMe SSD).
Also mounting them manually does not work. There is no further specification of the error in the console output, other than "an error occured"
I flashed a USB drive with the Kali-live ISO and shrinked my C:/ drive as the Kali multi-boot doc sais. I also launched the life Kali and tried to use gparted to create the neccessary partitions for the installation. Gparted doesn't show any partitions, just the whole drive with it's 986GB.
Is there a known error or a common solution for this issue?
EDIT 1:
I made the terminal spit out this
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~/Desktop]
└─$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /home/kali/Desktop/drive_i_just_mounted 32 ⨯
mount: /home/kali/Desktop/drive_i_just_mounted: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'.
EDIT 2:
I just tested installing Ubuntu 20.01 LTS, assuming its more automated and guided installation-procedure has a better chance of detecting my Windows partitions. But it also failed to find them. Ubuntu recognizes both NVMe's, but not their partitions.
That poses the question, if it might be about the drive-type that is built into my laptop.
EDIT 3:
I just did the some tests on 4 differnt laptops with mostly the same setup as my first one I described the issue with.
And 3 of them (without Intel Optane and NVMe M.2) didn't have the partition recognition issue. The 4th one with NVMe and Optane had the same issue I described. Neither gparted, nor the Kali and Ubuntu installers recognized the partitions on my drive.
