Fixing quirky SSD (globally duplicate ID), compiling kernel

[shadowpho]

I bought 2x 2TB TeamForce SSD (PCIE4, $80, super fast).

However they seem to have the same ID (same bug here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216049). This means that only one of the SSDs show up. The "solution" is to modify kernel source to add the following lines to /drivers/nvme/host/pci.c and recompile the kernel.


So I got the latest (master proxmox) kernel, modified the file above with quirks and built it successfully. If I can prove it out I'll sent it to include it upstream.

However the issue is that I fail to install new kernel:

I feel like I am so close, but for some reason grub isn't picking up the change. Any ideas on how to fix this?

After wiping everything and doing clean build (with modification) everything works now. The quirks are fixed, and I can see 2 SSDs. Now only to figure out how to generate patches and submit them as these are being pushed heavily due to their speed\price
