[ 40.031430] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [ 40.735485] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 40.735493] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 It looks identical to a 'standard ld' link. modprobe and rmmod work fine. It also seems to load, at least partially, in xorg: [ 23.791] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" [ 23.791] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so [ 24.089] (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" [ 24.117] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 [ 24.117] Module class: X.Org Video Driver but then the log file stops. Since I have to kill the entire machine I'm unsure if the file didn't flush or if that's the complete output. In fact, it took me a while to figure out that I tried installing 'gold' some days ago, since everything kept working for days until I rebooted. > > I see there is already a bug (see #617391) reported on binutils-gold, but I > > feel that nvidia-kernel-dkms should conflict with gold with at least a > > versioned dependency until someone gets a working module out of it. > > OK, I'll reinstate the conflicts in the next upload.
