# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/model
Dell Express Flash NVMe 800GB

# udevadm info -e | grep -i model | grep -i nvm
<NULL>

Booting into OS, after installation:
# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/model
Dell Express Flash NVMe 800GB

# udevadm info -e | grep -i model | grep -i nvm
root at ubuntu:/home/sujith# udevadm info -e | grep -i model | grep -i nvm

Title:
  [Ubuntu-16.04.3] Installer shows NVMe disks as "Unknown"

Status in udev package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:
  Ubuntu installer shows NVMe disks as 'Unknown' as shown in the attached screenshot.

  Reproducible:
  Always

  Steps:
  1. Setup a server with at least one NVMe disks
  2. Start Ubuntu-16.04.3 Server installation
  3. Notice that the NVMe disk is listed as 'Unknown' by the installer.

  Additional Info:
  * Attaching the screenshot.

  * During installation, udevadm does not have MODEL defined for NVMe
  disks.

  * I can see udevadm having MODEL info on booting into OS post-
  installation. Hence I think initrd requires some changes w.r.t to
  udev. Please correct me if I am wrong on this suspicion.
