nvidia driver problem after update

Hi, i did update today my drivers and after that update nvidia bumblebee no longer can load the nvidia module.

bumblebeed.service

 ● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

modprobe -vv nvidia

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Invalid argument
modprobe: INFO: context 0x174b410 released

At first bbswitch caused problems as well, i switched both nvidia and bbswitch to dkms versions and at dkms status these two both seem ok.

The error is this

 [ 1362.083359] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[ 1362.083424] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

What am i missing?

Re: nvidia driver problem after update

There is gonna be a fix or downgrading is the only solution for now?

*edit, Yeah downgrading to previous kernel version fixed it, lets hope there will be a fix soon
