kernel 4.20.0 fails to load kernel modules

[clubex]

I've not done any investigating for the moment (It's Xmas eve and no time) but reverting to the previous kernel was a temp solution for me.

Code: [Select]

I cannot confirm here. 4.20 starts and loads all neccessary modules flawlessly...

kernel 4.20 is not working for me

What does that mean in concrete terms? Because of nvidia, or rather this version of nvidia?

You have a GF GTX750, take nouveau!

4.20 starts and loads all neccessary modules flawlessly...

Same here (GF710, nouveau).

I have the same issue, looks like when I take a look at the /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/390.87/build/make.log I see the following error at the start of the file

For supported Nvidia GPUs you could install nvidia 415.25, if you have to...

I have the same issue, looks like when I take a look at the /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/390.87/build/make.log I see the following error ...

Yes, it is the same with driver ver. 396.54.  It appears we have to go with ver 415.23 or .25, to use kernel 4.20.

And the modules are indeed missing. So I'm presuming that nvidia hasn't yet caught up with kernal 4.20.0
It's a long time since I needed the advantages of the nvidia kernel so, for me, it's been easily solved by going "back" to nouveau.

ps please excuse any typos as I'm a little drunk. Happy Xmas all.

I was hoping for new drivers for better DXVK and steamplay options but ... I dont think either of those are in experimental yet.

[df8oe]

Is it possible that nvidia kicked off support for many graphic cards like Quadro 4000 in new 415.25-0 driver?

[axt]

Quadro 4000 is GF100 (Fermi) based as well as GeForce 400 series. The last driver version is 396.18.

Purge nvidia and use nouveau!

[axt]

df8oe, da Du ja Deutscher bist...kann natürlich sein, daß irgendwann irgendwer den 396er oder 340er patcht...bis zum nächsten Kernel oder xorg. Ich jedenfalls bin das ewige Hinterhergepatche bei/für nvidia leid, fahre nur noch nouveau (GF710). Aktueller Kernel ist mir weit wichtiger (ich spiele nicht).

Eine höhere GPU-Temperatur und höheren Verbrauch solltest Du freilich im Auge behalten, zumindest bei einem Notebook.
