Hi guys.

I'm trying to install Centos 9 Stream on a nvme - before I 
start tampering with other OSes - would anybody have an idea 
why...
after a seemingly successful installation OS wont boot - 
hardware sees nvme drive, bios does - it does not see 
new/any EFI boot entry?
To make it more bizarre - virtually identical hardware, only 
CPU is Ryzen Pro 3900 and not 3700 - and same Centos 
succeeded, it boots & starts fine.
I'm going to try again with the latest available ISO as of 
today, but in the meanwhile - I'm hoping you can share some 
thoughts/ideas.

many thanks, L.
