Hi Michael, Andrei thanks for your swift responses! One correction: I mentioned the wrong kernel version - its 5.11.15 for build 20210425. Michael - I've tried your suggestion but it failed complaining about a "mismatch" in nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-460.73.01_k5.11.11_1-37.1.x86_64.rpm [1](The file I've tee'd the output to got overwritten so regrettably I can't provide more details, grmbl) The kernel source install for 5.11.15 looked OK to me. Your comment and Andrei's point stating the nvidia modules are compiled made me try to update to the latest available build 20210429 which employs kernel 5.12.0. (Not knowing much about the "nvidia issue" I assumed nvidia are trying to keep some stuff from others looking into, thus forcing download of some pre-complied objects rather than to compile in situ) After the change to 5.12.0 all is fine again, I'm writing this mail on the system. One observation: I was following the update closely (which I usually don't do ;-)) and was concerned when I saw: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .......BTF [M] /usr/src/kernel-modules/nvidia-460.73.01-default/nvidia.ko Skipping BTF generation for /usr/src/kernel-modules/nvidia-460.73.01-default/ nvidia.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux make[2]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/linux-5.12.0-1-obj/x86_64/default“ wird verlassen make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-5.12.0-1' ld -r -o nv-linux.o \ nvidia.mod.o nvidia/nv-interface.o ld: cannot find nvidia/nv-interface.o: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:113: nv-linux.o] Error 1 / depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.order at /lib/modules/5.12.0-1-default: No such file or directory depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin at /lib/modules/5.12.0-1- default: No such file or directory Modprobe blacklist files have been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau from loading.
