[SOLVED] sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-custom ==> ERROR: module not found

Hi, I installed nvidia drivers and custom kernel:

sudo pacman -S nvidia
In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, remove kms from the HOOKS array.
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
sudo reboot
As vorlket:
cd build/
pkgctl repo clone --protocol=https linux
cd linux
in PKGBUILD:
pkgbase=linux-custom
Comment out make olddefconfig
Type in: make nconfig
Type in: install -Dt "$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids" tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids
updpkgsums
As vorlket:
cd build/linux
makepkg -s
Note: may need gpg –recv-keys … if fails.
Note: Ensure your kernel has CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y, and if using CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
sudo pacman -U /home/vorlket/build/linux/linux-custom-6.8.6.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/vorlket/build/linux/linux-custom-headers-6.8.6.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/vorlket/build/linux/linux-custom-docs-6.8.6.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
In /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia_drm.conf:
options nvidia_drm modeset=1
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1
In /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”nvidia_drm.modeset=1”
In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-custom

and I get the following:

[vorlket@midiserver ~]$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-custom

What have I missed for the module not found errors?

Thanks for help.

Your custom kernel would need a custom nvidia package or use nvidia-dkms.

Further to what loqs said, see here for DKMS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynami … le_Support

You'll need to install kernel headers for DKMS. Then install nvidia-dkms.

See point 3 under installation here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation

For the Maxwell (NV110/GMXXX) series and newer, install the nvidia package (for use with the linux kernel) or nvidia-lts package (for use with the linux-lts kernel) or nvidia-dkms package (for all other kernels).
