Arch Linux

There is a kernel panic so people switch to nvidia-390xx packages. The log with kernel panic with the 396.24 ("nvidia" package in official archlinux repos):

The card is GTX 1060 6GB.

I have found some interesting lines about such error, probably related, in the NVIDIA module source's README:


A. On some notebooks with Optimus graphics, the NVIDIA driver may not be able
to retrieve the Video BIOS due to interactions between the System BIOS and
the Linux kernel's ACPI subsystem. On affected notebooks, applications that
require the GPU will fail, and messages like the following may appear in
the system log:


NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:858)
NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed


Such problems are typically beyond the control of the NVIDIA driver, which
relies on proper cooperation of ACPI and the System BIOS to retrieve
important information about the GPU, including the Video BIOS.

Toby, could you tell your motherboard please? Mine is Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 (2011 year) with old BIOS. According to the text above it could be related to our old BIOS. I have also read somewhere in internet that updating bios helped some guy who had such trouble in 2014.

I have the MSI Z170A PC MATE Intel Z170 Motherboard. Also a GTX 1060 6GB.

I can confirm the issue also, but without kernel panic (Xorg with 100% cpu time).

Please report this upstream at [1] following the instructions at [2]. Thanks

[2] https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/522835/linux/if-you-have-a-problem-please-read-this-first/

Any chance there is anything for me to be done here in the package?

Just release the update as fast as you can when it's ready: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1032725/linux/396-18-02-neon-sddm-crash-on-boot-xid-62-nvrm-rm_init_adapter-failed-for-device-bearing-min-/post/5259772/#5259772

Alright. Closing this as upstream stuff is confirmed. Just flag the package once an update becomes available.
