[SOLVED] Unable to add NVIDIA modules to initramfs

ReYuki · 2024-08-04 11:24:43

Greetings, fellow. I have installed nvidia driver and tried to add the following module to initramfs (/etc/mkinitcpio.conf):

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

but the `mkinitcpio` output says it cannot found those modules:

==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_modeset'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_uvm'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_drm'

I have verified that those module are exists:

pacman -Ql nvidia
nvidia /usr/
nvidia /usr/lib/
nvidia /usr/lib/modules/
nvidia /usr/lib/modules/6.10.2-arch1-1/
nvidia /usr/lib/modules/6.10.2-arch1-1/extramodules/
nvidia /usr/lib/modules/6.10.2-arch1-1/extramodules/nvidia-drm.ko.zst
nvidia /usr/lib/modules/6.10.2-arch1-1/extramodules/nvidia-modeset.ko.zst

NVIDIA model: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD106M [GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

So, it seems the problem is kernel module version not match with the kernel version? I perform full upgrade on the system, reboot and problem was solved.

Arch Linux
