| Summary | 0000724: kmod-nvidia-375.39-2 not working with NVIDIA GRID K1 | ||||
| Description | On RHEL7, after updating kmod-nvidia to latest version (375.39, required for the 3.10.0-514.10.2 kernel), the nvidia kernel modules fails to load. dmesg output: NVRM: The NVIDIA GRID K1 GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 367.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more NVRM: information. The 375.39 NVIDIA driver will ignore NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe... | ||||
| Additional Information | Not tried with NVIDIA GRID K2, but supposedly the same issue there? nvidia packages: nvidia-x11-drv-375.39-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-375.39-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kernel: 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 | ||||

Ok, so nvidia has stopped supporting GRID K1/K2 cards with their new driver branch. Question is, will there be a legacy 367 driver available from elrepo that we can use with our K1/K2 cards? |
|

Yes, looks like you are correct. The GRID K1/K2/K340/K520 chipsets will need the 367.xx driver. Here's what the nvidia driver page says: These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA GPU driver releases. The 367.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs: So you will need to revert to the last 367.xx driver, but that won't work with the very latest RHEL7 kernel due to a change in the ABI, so I'll need to rebuild kmod-nvidia for you. We can then fork it to a kmod-nvidia-367xx legacy package as we have done for other legacy branches as it looks like nvidia intend to maintain this branch separately for your chipset. I'll try to get the initial kmod-nvidia update rebuilt for you asap so we can at least get you functional again. I'll post back here later this evening once done. Thanks for the report. |

Hey, thats great! I was worried we would have to lock kernel version on these systems. Right now I've downgraded the kernel and installed the 367 kmod-nvidia version so we are in a functional state - so there's no panic on our behalf. |

I have rebuilt the following package against the latest RHEL7 kernel (kernel-3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64) and released them to the main elrepo repository. They are syncing to the mirrors and should be available shortly. kmod-nvidia-367.57-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm nvidia-kmod-367.57-3.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm So for now, you can install: kmod-nvidia-367.57-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm <-- Note it's the -3.el7 release nvidia-x11-drv-367.57-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm and that combination should support the GRID K1/K2/K340/K520 devices on the latest RHEL7 kernel. Please note, for kmod-nvidia-367.57, the -1.el7 release supports 7.2, -2.el7 supports early 7.3 kernels and the -3.el7 release is required for the current rhel7 kernel and above. The corresponding nvidia-x11-drv-367.57-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm package may be used with any of the above kmod-nvidia packages. When you are ready to update, I would uninstall your current nvidia packages (yum erase kmod-nvidia), then install: yum install kmod-nvidia-367.57-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm (making sure it's the correct release) and reboot to the latest RHEL7 kernel (3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64). Yum will pull in nvidia-x11-drv for you as a dependency. Then don't update your nvidia packages for now (you can add an exclude line to the repo file). I will fork a legacy branch for you when nvidia next updates the 367.xx drivers. I will also blacklist the GRID K1/K2/K340/K520 chipsets in the next 375.xx release and remove the old packages from the repo, so after that point yum-plugin-nvidia will prevent you from installing the unsupported 375.xx or above drivers. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll update this bug as necessary |

This is great, thanks! |

Just to note, I've just released 375.66 drivers which now blacklist these unsupported devices so yum should no longer offer 375.xx updates (once packages have sync'd to all the mirror sites). I'm still waiting for nvidia to make a 367.xx legacy release. |

I've just noticed in the changelog for 375.66: Restored support for the following GPU: GRID K520 and sure enough, it's listed here as now supported: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/375.66/README/supportedchips.html So we will need to un-blacklist GRID K520 [10DE:118A] on the next release. |
