Description Thomas Biesinger 2018-01-29 15:22:30 CET

On a fresh reproducible Fedora f28 rawhide installation 
  4.15.0-0.rc9.git4.1.fc28.x86_64
I run 
  sudo dnf -y install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
which pulls (see below)
  akmod-nvidia
still using
  NV136 nouveau
despite of 
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 rhgb quiet"

A couple of days ago on a fresh rc0, I believe, akmod-nvidia indeed managed to implement
  NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.12

Question: how to fix KMOD to accept the 390.12 NVIDIA (and cuda)?

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Rawhide recommends a nodebug kernel but there should be a workaround?


Here some additional info:

Please use the rpmfusion users mailing list if you need anything.
Bug tracker cannot superseed a end-users support forum.

Comment 2 Thomas Biesinger 2018-01-29 19:59:52 CET

Instructions provide under https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Rawhide fail on fresh Fedora fc28 rawhide installation. This may be easily reproduced.

I suspect a bug instead of an end user problem. Thank you!

> I suspect a bug instead of an end user problem. Thank you!

retpoline vermagic tag affected most of the rc9 kernels which prevented nvidia kernel modules from loading.
That was a kernel issue not nvidia,

Comment 4 Thomas Biesinger 2018-01-29 21:14:30 CET

good hint; appreciate!

Comment 5 Thomas Biesinger 2018-02-01 15:13:55 CET

4.15.0-1.fc28.x86_64 does not have the problem any more; https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Rawhide should be amended.

4.15.0-1.fc28.x86_64 from fedora repo was built with the extra debugging disabled.
They will re-enable it soon so no need to edit.

Comment 7 Thomas Biesinger 2018-02-01 21:30:26 CET

Thanks! I did the

sudo dnf -y config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo

bit and keep fingers crossed that GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 will stay.
