Hello,

I have successfully installed Red Hat 6 on a new Dell Precision 7740 laptop
using UEFI.  I wanted to use mondo to take an image of it, then restore it,
but it does not work.  I believe the "nvme" driver is not part of the mondo
boot environment, so my attempt to "nuke" it fails because it can't find
the nvme device; named something like nvme0n1.

Is there a way to force the nvme driver to be installed at mondo boot
time?  If not, can I load it via expert mode?

My issue stems from OE that we deliver that was fine on previous dell
laptops, which were legacy boot only.  Now we purchased EFI only laptops,
that have nvme devices, and my production mondo OE image is not fully
compatible.  I was hoping to install a fresh RHEL 6 install on the new
laptop, then restore all the data from the previous mondo image to that
same laptop, then reboot it it and see if it still works.  If so, I could
mondo that combined laptop and use it, with EFI boot.

Thanks for any help, advice, assistance.  Life seemed easier pre-EFI.

Mike
