Yes, partitionmanager does work and see the NVME drive.  Recall at the
end you can designate the bootloader?  It does not provide the option
for the /dev/nvmen[01..99] drive option.  It only shows /dev/sd[a-z].

I guess nvme is loaded and since it is not loaded as a kernel loadable
module, you do not see it when you use 'lsmod'.  If you use lspci -s
##.## -v on the bus/slot number, it shows that the kernel is using
'nvme'.

I was expecting a different result, because I loaded it as a loadable
module, is showed up in 'lsmod'.

Nevertheless, it is working.  I am just trying to get pass the
plasmashell bug.  I changed themes and it has reduced the number of
errors for plasma.
