For the record, the kmod update hung my wife's laptop. The failure
required I add a kernel argument so I could get a prompt and delete
the xorg.conf. I am back to your dkms on the laptop and things are
working fine again.
There should not be a reason for this. Could you elaborate on what
exactly happened when it 'hang' ? Did it hang during boot ? Did it panic
? Did X crash ? Did the screen freeze ?
Sorry, yes, could be me, the hardware, or the software.
The boot would occur normally with all services starting without issues.
Then, when the Nvidia logo normally flashes, the screen would go blank
and the machine became totally unresponsive.
/var/log/messages did not seem to have any errors, but this would
generally show seconds before halting:
Aug 16 18:46:08 tlaptop kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:0c:00.0 (0100
-> 0102)
Aug 16 18:46:08 tlaptop kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0c:00.0[A] ->
GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 177
It would also be nice to see this xorg.conf that was deleted as well as
the one that worked with the old driver. It is quite possible that if I
release a newer version (the same one as ELRepo) the behaviour of the
dkms package is exactly the same and this is an upstream bug.
I will try to run tests tonight to provide something helpful and complete.
