I've been experiencing a strange issue with Gentoo LiveCD with systemd. Here's the scenario:
When I boot from a USB pendrive, everything works perfectly fine on my machine. However, when I copy the same ISO image to my NVMe disk and try to boot from it, I encounter the following error during the boot process:
Code:

 /dev/ram0 does not exist

The boot process seems to freeze for a while and then eventually fails, indicating that /dev/ram0 cannot be found.

    1. I copied the exact same ISO that works from a USB pendrive to an NVMe disk.
    2. The GRUB menu entry I use is:
    Code:

    menuentry "Gentoo LiveCD from ISO" {
        set root=(hd0,gpt1)
        insmod loopback
        insmod iso9660
        insmod part_gpt
        insmod fat
        loopback loop /ISO/gentoo.iso
        linux (loop)/boot/gentoo dokeymap root=live:CDLABEL=Gentoo-amd64-20241020 rd.live.dir=/ rd.live.squashimg=image.squashfs cdroot
        initrd (loop)/boot/gentoo.igz
    }


I've tried changing the GRUB configuration, debugging the initramfs, and ensuring all paths are correct, but I still can't get it to work. Could this be an issue with how GRUB or initramfs interacts with the NVMe drive?
