You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On T460s, I tried to install the wily daily build,  it could detect the
nvme partition, at the end of installation, it prompt ' Unable to
install GRUB in /dev/nvme'

Oct 19 16:47:01 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/nvme'

Why it install to /dev/nvme, while not the /dev/nvme0n1?

$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory /target/boot/grub /dev/nvme
Installing for i386-pc platform
grub-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/nvme.  Check your device.map.

$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory /target/boot/grub /dev/nvme0
Installing for i386-pc platform
grub-install: error: attempt to read or write outside of disk `hostdisk/dev/nvme0'.

$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory /target/boot/grub /dev/nvme0n1
Installing for i386-pc platform
Inatalltion finished. No error reported.

But even it's no error reported, I still cant' find any grub after
reboot.
