Are Nvidia drivers broken 12/25/22

I have 2 machines

Machine one
CPU: Intel core i7 10700k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 super
Linux kernel (non lts)

Machine two
CPU: Intel core i7 12700
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 super
Linux kernel (non lts)

Nvidia, nvidia-dkms, and nvidia-open currently break both systems. Systems will not boot past bios logo with no TTYs available.

Have tried nouveau.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter, and what ever the intel one is as well.

WHAT KIND OF WORKS: Lts kernel with nvidia-lts, but gdm fails to load even with setting up early loading since I'm on a solid state

I'm not home at the moment but will be happy to provide logs. What logs would y'all like to see? I'll chroot in and get them.

Re: Are Nvidia drivers broken 12/25/22

Note you seem to have posted this twice so I've told the mods the second is likely an inadvertent duplicate.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 for some general advice about posting and sources of useful information. I would follow the suggestions there to start with, but also post your kernel command line and mkinitcpio.conf.

What are you trying to do exactly? That is, how are you trying to use the two graphics cards?

By 'non-lts' kernel, do you mean the one provided by the linux package? There are other non-lts kernels in the repos, after all ....

Solved it myself with a bios update on both machines, I don't understand why it posted twice.
