UPDATE — driver-only upgrade reproduces the bug on an already-fixed kernel
Since filing this bug, kernel upgrades to 7.0.0-14 and 7.0.0-28 both booted correctly (normal-size boot logo confirming the driver loaded in early boot). But today I upgraded *only* the NVidia driver package "nvidia-utils-595/noble-updates,noble-security,now 595.84-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64". After the reboot, the bug reproduced -- oversize logo confirming the driver did *not* load at early boot -- and the DKMS modules remained compressed: $ ll /usr/lib/modules/7.0.0-28-generic/updates/dkms total 8.0M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62K Aug 4 19:27 nvidia-drm.ko.zst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.6M Aug 4 19:27 nvidia.ko.zst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 730K Aug 4 19:27 nvidia-modeset.ko.zst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1K Aug 4 19:27 nvidia-peermem.ko.zst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671K Aug 4 19:27 nvidia-uvm.ko.zst No change in the kernel; 7.0.0-28 was running before -- with the DKMS modules uncompressed and loading at early boot -- and now it was undone by the latest nvidia package. I confirmed that running my script (dkms-unzstd.sh) that uncompresses the DKMS and update-initramfs, followed by a reboot continues to be a successful workaround. But a fix would be better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2154307 Title: DKMS modules installed as .ko.zst; are not included in initramfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/2154307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
