[SOLVED] NVidia/modules broken after update

Hi!

After updating to the latest linux-lts and nvidia-lts my boot hangs for a bit, because of kernel module errors.
Trying to startx freezes the computer.

Issues disappear when I downgrade linux-lts, linux-headers, nvidia-lts and nvidia-utils.
I have tried to switch to the linux kernel from lts and switch to nvidia/nvidia-dkms, but the issue is still present.

Here's my journalctl output when booting linux-lts with nvidia-lts: http://ix.io/4rl5
There is a very weird error after:

traps: Missing ENDBR: _nv012309rm+0x0/0x10 [nvidia]

Does anyone know what the "kernel bug" means?

FWIW I am currently using the latest linux-lts with nouveau and the system is working fine, so the problem is with nvidia.

How should I proceed to troubleshoot this?
Assist is appreciated!

You don't update all that often, do you?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation - blue note, see the "ibt=off" stuff.

Re: [SOLVED] NVidia/modules broken after update

Thanks for pointing out

ibt=off

I was able to startx without problems on nvidia-lts after adding the above kernel parameter.

Sadly I have been kind of inactive with computers for a bit, so I haven't updated regularly.

Marking the post as solved. Thank you!
