I have a similar issue when installing on a Lenovo Y530 with m2 PCIe SSD. I can confirm that I was able to install OpenSuse Tumbleweed which is running kernel 4.18.15 as opposed to 4.18.0.
There may be a patch. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c?id=1d39e6928cbd0eb737c51545210b5186d5551ba1 It seemed like it might work: ubuntu kernel: nvme nvme0: nvme_report_ns_ids: Identify Descriptors failed Oct 30 11:14:36 ubuntu kernel: nvme0n1: p1 p2 p3 Oct 30 11:14:38 ubuntu kernel: nvme nvme0: nvme_report_ns_ids: Identify Descriptors failed Oct 30 11:14:38 ubuntu kernel: nvme0n1: p1 p2 p3 Oct 30 11:14:38 ubuntu partman[11608]: mke2fs 1.44.4 (18-Aug-2018) Oct 30 11:14:38 ubuntu systemd-resolved[1337]: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP.
