Re: [SOLVED] Problem with NVIDIA kernel module with linux kernel 5.7.*
There might have been a misunderstanding (if you didn't check the link) - I meant "you're hitting the same amdgpu problem" and the posted link blames the "Compatibility Support Module" (legacy mode) BIOS option.
Did you try that?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with NVIDIA kernel module with linux kernel 5.7.*
I've disabled CSM in BIOS and nothing worked (yesterday). Today I updated the system (there was a new kernel 5.7.8 and nvidia driver update) and after a reboot everything is working fine. Thanks a lot for the help and the patience seth.
One last question, should I keep the integrated graphic disabled?

Depends on whether you intend to use it (as a hybrid system) - if yes, you'll have to enable it. Otherwise you're just wasting battery.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with NVIDIA kernel module with linux kernel 5.7.*
Today I updated the system (there was a new kernel 5.7.8 and nvidia driver update) and after a reboot everything is working fine.
I often experience this issue since recently that I get an update for Nvidia driver which also needs the kernel to be upgraded. But new kernel becomes available in repos only a day after, so Xorg will not start if you upgrade Nvidia driver without upgrading the kernel and reboot your machine after that. This is why I started using 'nvidia-dkms' package instead of 'nvidia'. I know, it is intended to be used with custom kernel, but it helps to avoid such problems.
