The kernel parameters I have are
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nomodeset pcie_port_pm=off nouveau.blacklist=1 nouveau.modeset=0"
After I set those I ran
mkinitcpio -P
and
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
My machine is a Thinkpad w520 with Nvidia Quadro 1000M.
How do I successfully load the nvidia kernel module?

The nvidia driver wants to tell you something but the context is lost in the grep.
Quadro 1000M according to google is a Fermi chip, so you'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go (dkms and utils), not the 495xx series in the repos.
And I guess that's also what the driver message says.

Here is the important part of the dmesg output without grep:
[ 4.670358] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

Ok, I will install those packages.

I installed:
nvidia-390xx-dkms
nvidia-390xx-utils
as pointed out by seth.
Now lsmod shows me the modules are correctly loaded.
Thank you!

You'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-utils/ not "nvidia-utils" if you want OpenGL and X11 support.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I did install nvidia-390xx-utils, but mistakingly typed nvidia-utils here.
I have edited my previous reply and marked the thread as solved.
Thanks.
