[Solved] Nvidia KMS - mkinitcpio not looking in /lib/modules/extram...
Following the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … de_setting I added KMS to GRUB which seems to work
[ 2.940718] nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 396.54 Tue Aug 14 23:08:44 PDT 2018
[ 2.942175] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driverI added the hooks mentioned (nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm) to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/byebyehdmi.conf"
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
COMPRESSION="lz4"

# Additional options for the compressor

Re: [Solved] Nvidia KMS - mkinitcpio not looking in /lib/modules/extram...
Those are kernelmodules, not hooks, add them to the MODULES array. It mentiones that you could create a pacman hook (pacman hooks != mkinitcpio hooks) to make sure mkinitcpio is properly invoked on nvidia updates. That said, it is unlikely to really benefit you and usually setting the kernel parameter is sufficient. As the nvidia driver doesn't support a hires terminal framebuffer the benefit of adding them to your initramfs isn't really high and it adds an additional step to think about during kernel/nvidia updates

Re: [Solved] Nvidia KMS - mkinitcpio not looking in /lib/modules/extram...
Cheers. I sort of guessed i was doing some very wrong but was having one of my regular "Can't see the wood for the trees" moments.
All is now well
