Re: [SOLVED] Errors when trying to install Linux-zen kernel

Just remove /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/550.78/6.9.1-zen1-1-zen manually and try to rebuild the module.

I did that and it worked...but only for the zen kernel (while under the zen kernel). Now those modules cannot be build against the standard kernel.

$ uname -a
Linux MSI-Raider 6.9.1-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 17 May 2024 16:56:18 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Cannot be built because of what error?

Well, exactly the same error as it was before while trying to build them against zen kernel

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when trying to install Linux-zen kernel

Because the build of the module somehow™ failed in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2173061 when it "stuck" signing? Did you just ctrl+c that?

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when trying to install Linux-zen kernel

Nope, I didn't.

After some struggle I was finally able to make it all work for the zen kernel. One of the problems in my case is a small size (~300MB) EFI partition. Windows + GRUB + 2x linux kernel make it 100% full, so I'm having issues while updating the kernels and initramfs's.
