I had a similar problem with grub on this box. I decided in the end that it must be a UEFI BIOS problem: that it couldn't see grub at all. My solution was to ditch grub altogether and use bootctl from sys-boot/systemd-boot. Life after grub is much more pleasant, even though I have to work harder at installing a new kernel. :) I doubt that nvme has any bearing on your problem - provided that you have your partitions set up properly, of course. -- Regards, Peter.
