Good news. A patch that fixes the current issue has been posted here:
​

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1021871/304-135-fails-to-build-load-on-rhel-7-4-kernel-3-10-0-693/



​Using the patch I was able to run Nvidia's installer
(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run) successfully. Now this patch
needs to be added to ELRepo's kmod package.​


The patched version of kmod-nvidia-340xx has been released to the 
elrepo-testing repository

​ and is syncing to the mirrors​
:

kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-4.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64

(Note that it is 340.102-4, not 340.102-3)

​Please test!

Akemi​



Tested on SL 7.4 and it works as expected.

kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-4.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.102-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

​I tried the nvidia installer (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run) and it
failed with the following error:

​
​"​
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'.  This happens most
frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs
from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as
rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel
module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no
NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux
graphics driver release.
​"​


​The ​
nouveau
​ driver had been disabled. I also rebuilt ​initramfs without nouveau to be
sure.

Hi Pat,

I don't seem to be having much luck with the

That's the correct driver for el7.4, but that said I've not tested it.

Any thoughts on this stack trace?


Sorry, not really. I guess the first test we need to do is to
establish if it's the driver or the kernel, presumably by someone
testing that driver on a genuine RHEL kernel to establish if it
works as expected there. Akemi is currently trying to bring up a
RHEL7.4 machine with appropriate nvidia hardware to test the package
works on RHEL.


​My test result: Got exactly the same stack trace as what Pat reported. 
This is a freshly installed RHEL 7.4 system. ​

​'​
nvidia-detect -v
​' shows:

​[10de:0427] NVIDIA Corporation G86M [GeForce 8400M GS]
This device requires the legacy 340.xx NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia-340xx

I'm now moving 'kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-3.el7_4' to the elrepo-testing 
repo (instead of removing) in case others want to take a look at it.


Akemi




Thanks for the testing Akemi. At least we've confirmed it's our nvidia 
package that's at fault Pat, rather than your kernel :-)


Would anyone be able to test with the nvidia installer to see if that 
gives the same result as our package so we can determine if it's 
something we did or if we need to look upstream.


Thanks
