Nvidia driver don't boot with kernel-3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64

[chepioq]

Today there is an update to kernel-3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64, but it don't boot with nvidia driver.
kernel-3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64 is not a debugging kernel, and in the log I have that :

Where is the problem ?

[chepioq]

A little up please.

[vallimar]

It's working fine for me with the latest nvidia driver.
Make sure you've built the kernel module and that it is able to load.

[chepioq]

What driver you use ?
I have the 343.22-1, with akmod.

[vallimar]

nVidia 343.22 on kernel 3.17.0

[chepioq]

I have no problem with kernel 3.17.0-300.fc21 (work fine with nvidia driver 343.22-1), just with 3.17.0-301.fc21.
You test with the 3.17.0-301.fc21 ?

[chepioq]

I have the nvidia.ko in right place (/usr/lib/modules/3.16.3-302.fc21.x86_64/extra/nvidia), but it seem not loaded.

Where is the problem ?

[vallimar]

I build my own kernels and am on 3.17.1 now, all still works fine.

/usr/lib/modules/3.16.3-302.fc21.x86_64/extra/nvidia is quite obviously *NOT*
the right place for the 3.17.0 kernel. So, do you actually have a built module for
the new kernel?

[dobbi]

First try to see if there was a fix for it:

# yum update

After that check the OS release against the kernel installed and the nvidia modules to see if they all match.

$ uname -r;rpm -qa *nvidia* *kernel* | sort

You may say, that you already did that but remember people miss things, we all get distracted from time to time, that is why have more eyeballs on the information and that is why I am asking for you to post it here so others can see it.

As stated elsewhere also.

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280750 (This is the thread for finding help for the proprietary Nvidia drivers but it will ask you the same info and a bit more)

rpm -qa *nvidia* *kernel* | sort;uname -r;lsmod | egrep -i "nvidia|nouveau";cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf;
lspci | egrep -i vga

Only then start going to the esoteric.

[    20.682] (EE) NVIDIA:     system's kernel log for additional error messages and

I think that part is telling you to look into dmesg.

$ dmesg

or

$ journalctl -klax --no-pager (it doesn't work here for some reason)

The device logs?

$ lspci -vnnk

[chepioq]

Ok, I test this evening and tell you the result.

[chepioq]

After yum update same problem, kernel-3.17.0-301 don't boot.

I had a similar problem today, but I opened a new teminal, logged in as root, and ran a forced akmod build. This worked without problems. So - perhaps due to the microcode reworkings - the build that should have been triggered during boot failed.

[chepioq]

What is command line for akmod force ?

[chepioq]

Ok and thank Silarn, I remove the akmod for 3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64 and rebuild with akmods force :

akmods --force --kernels 3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64

That rebuild the kmod and now all work fine.
Thank again.

[Silarn]

Sorry, just saw the reply. Glad you got it working. If this issue continues after the next kernel update, it's probably due for a bug report.
