GRUB fails to install to NVMe SSD - Debian Jessie 8.6












1















I'm getting essentially the same error as in this question except when I try to do the proposed solution, at this step:



grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/nvme0n1


I get this error:



grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.


This is a clean install using an ASRock motherboard with the Z170 chipset, in case that's relevant.

          I had the same problem with an Asus Z170 motherboard. FWIW, I installed a 'testing' build of Debian (currently Alpha 8 of Stretch) over a Windows 10 install and dual-boot etc. is working great, so far.

            Can you see /dev/nvme0n1 ?



             ls -l /dev/nvme0n1


            If not, do you have the nvme-cli package installed?
            Once installed, you should be able to continue.
