Summary0000920: RHEL 7.7 (kernel 3.10.0-1062.el7) not compatible with kmod-nvidia 430.40.1.el7_6
DescriptionAfter updating to RHEL 7.7, the machine will not load a gui (gnome in my case). Other machines without kmod-nvidia installed boot successfully after updating to RHEL 7.7.

Loading the older 7.6 kernel allows the gui to load successfully.

The kmod package needs to be rebuilt against RHEL 7.7 kernel.

I've rebuilt the package as kmod-nvidia-430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm and uploaded to the elrepo testing repository. The updated package should show up on mirror sites shortly.

https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

You can update with:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update kmod-nvidia

and reboot to the new rhel 7.7 kernel.

Please note I've not tested yet, so would appreciate feedback if it works as expected.

Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. I have moved the package to the main elrepo repository from testing.
