nvidia-dkms: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel"

Hey!

I'm having a problem with self-built kernels and the nvidia-dkms package: When I'm trying to install a custom built kernel (i.e. this one from the AUR) I get an error, when dkms is trying to install the nvidia-module for the kernel.
Here's the output from pacman:

Re: nvidia-dkms: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel"

The nvidia-dkms package lacks a patch for 4.15 as there are only kernels using 4.9 and 4.14 currently in the official repositories.

Re: nvidia-dkms: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel"

Hey loqs!

Thanks for your answer! smile Hm, ok. That's what I expected. Is nvidia-dkms always incompatible with kernel-versions newer than the ones in the repositories or is this an exception?
I dind't test your patch, instead I recompiled kernel 4.14 from the official repositories with my own config. nvidia-dkms worked smoothly.

Re: nvidia-dkms: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel"

Depends if there is an incompatible change in that particular release it varies.

Re: nvidia-dkms: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel"

Maybe it should be mentioned in the wiki-article that nvidia-dkms is only guaranteed to work with the kernel-version of the official package from the repositories and that other/newer versions might break it.
