Re: [SOLVED] Latest NVIDIA updates fails to load

The tighter the delay the more fragile this gets.
Sidebar, if you add "nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=0" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters - do you get away w/o the sleep (that's not necessarily a viable strategy and more to investigate the oranges of the problem)

No, this went back to the delay.

Ok, but many thanks for testing.

Re: [SOLVED] Latest NVIDIA updates fails to load

Kernel : 6.17.3-zen2-1-zen
NVIDIA Driver version: 580.95.05

I’m experiencing the same problem with sddm.
My system has an NVIDIA RTX 4050 Max-Q GPU along with an AMD Radeon 680M iGPU.
The issue occurs only sporadically.

The reason I’m replying in a closed thread is that I’m not convinced this is caused solely by the NVIDIA drivers. I’m not sure if this makes sense, but my friend experiences the same problem on their system—and they don’t have an NVIDIA GPU.

I think some recent nvidia update made it slower to init causing a flurry of those, but it's generally a race condition that can hit every driver (notably if the module isn't in the initramfs and thus loads late)

I was able to get rid of the issue by adding the nvidia modules to the initramfs. Thank you @seth
