Failed to load nvidia kernel module

When I try to start x it outputs the following error
Failed to load nvidia kernel module
I'm trying to use the new nvidia-beta drivers from AUR but the same error occurs with ordinary nvidia drivers and the nv drivers. Under xorg.conf I currently have 'nvidia' next to driver and I've also put nvidia in the modules section of rc.conf
when I try to modprobe nvidia is just outputs 'module nvidia not found'

Ended up booting into gnome using the vesa driver (max resolution was 800x600) and downloading the new nvidia beta setup from the nvidia website then going back into terminal and running it. Just had to download make from pacman and it compiled a new nvidia kernel module for me it seems. All works well with the new driver now.
Thanks.

    Do you have any idea of what should be done to fix it? I don't want to use NVIDIA driver from their site neither nouveau, I want to use the one from the repo. If you know how to solve it, instead of only pointing the solution, also tell why this is happening, it will help me and other people with the same problem too!
    If you need additional information please ask me.
    Thanks!!

  • [Solved] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module

    So, I did an arch base install today, rebooted and after that, basicly I

    rewrote pacman.conf (/mirrorlist),
    pacman -Syu,
    pacman -S kdemod,
    pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit,
    pacman -S nvidia (removed libgl; 7600GT),
    wrote xorg.conf.

    I tried reinstalling kernel26, nvidia, didn't work.
    EDIT: reinstalled nvidia, worked after reboot.
    * Also shutdown, modprobe.. is gone (command not found). So I pacmaned -S coreutils,

    edit: sorry
    sudo modprobe -l | grep nvidia
    edit2: recently replied on a similar thread, user used hwd -xa to generate a xorg.conf, then used aticonfig --initial... to generate a xorg.conf.  this resulted in duplicate config entries.
    try this.
    reinstall xorg-server, nvidia.  reboot.  run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` only, then move the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  then try startx

  • Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko' [SOLVED]

    After my most recent kernel upgrade, I can't get my GUI to run. I've tried reinstalling the nvidia driver to no avail.

    if you used the packages from repos, the blacklist is done automatically in nvidia,
    $ pacman -Qo /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
    /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf is owned by nvidia 195.36.31-1
    $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
    blacklist nouveau
    but i guess you just want to mess your system by using unsupported and very bad ways and you are way smarter than the devs if you used that installer

  • [Solved] Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module

    Hi all,
    I've just made the jump to arch and have a fresh install. I'm having trouble getting the nvidia drivers to work. I am currently using the nouveau drivers without issue.
    The method I am using - after much trial - is:
    - uninstall nouveau and mesa lib
    - install nvidia package
    - remove nouveau module entry in mkinitcpio.conf
    - run `mkinitcpio -p linux`
    - edit .conf in xorg.conf.d with minimal required settings. Currently:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "device0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    I have installed the linux-headers package and tried reinstalling nvidia again

    The only entry I found in `dmesg | grep nvidia` related to nvidia-drm, and seemed to say it was loaded successfully. I didn't save the exact entry and i've reinstalled nouveau now so that I could post this.
    Any help much appriciated. I've been at this for a while. Learning a lot in the process!

    Success! Several days of trying various things and I finally give in and make a post to this forum. One more attempt - which was only really so that I could add modprobe info to this post - and it works.
    I had at some stage installed the driver xf86-video-nv, and this may have been causing the clash. I un-installed it, and followed the procedure above to reinstall nvidia.
    I think the main hang up I'd had is that I had not been rebuilding my kernel image with mkinitcpio after installing nvidia during my previous attempts.
    I hope some info in here helps some other stuck archer.
    Edit: Thanks graysky. I had found the right nvidia driver using the arch wiki and followed this advice to remove the nouveau hook. Much appriciated.

  • [SOLVED] linux-ck 3.17.4-1 fails to load nvidia - xserver dies

    Hi,
    since upgrading linux-ck from 3.17.3-1 to .4-1, xserver doesn't start anymore because it can't load the nvidia module.
    Downgrading solves this issue, no problems like this with the stock kernel…
    I tried adding nvidia to initramfs, didn't help either.
    Any ideas how to resolve this? Or Is this just a sit-and-wait-bug?

    It says:
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': invalid argument
    Here the according X-log:
    [ 60.383] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
    [ 60.383] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages and
    [ 60.383] (EE) NVIDIA: consult the NVIDIA README for details.
    [ 60.383] (EE) No devices detected.
    As said before, with 3.17.3-1ck, everything was fine…

  • [solved] kernel 3.2.8 fails with loading nvidia and virtualbox modules

    Topic says it. I just updated from kernel 3.2.7 to 3.2.8 and X won't start. The kernel fails to load the nvidia module with the follwing error: 'Exec format error'. Same for the virtualbox kernel modules. This is on x86_64, multilib and all testing repos enabled.
    Downgrade to 3.2.7 by
    pacman -S core/linux
    solves the issue.

  • Ocfs2_nodemanager module fails to load in kernel on node1of2 in 11gRAC

    Hello Linux Gurus.
    Hopefully this is a simple problem...Creating an 11g 2-node RAC. Upon boot, node Lin1 fails to load the module ocfs2_nodemanager. Node2 (Lin2) loads nodemanager fine. Using identical HP Proliant DL380 servers, identical o/s install, etc...
    I tried removing, reinstalling, etc. ocfs2-2.6.18-53.el5-1.2.7-1.el5.i686.rpm using the rpm utility, but nothing changes. How do I get the ocfs2_nodemanager to load into the kernel on Lin1 at boot or any other time?
    I set down this path when running ocfs2console to configure ocfs2 file system.
    Any assistance very much appreciated.

    well, there is also a ocfs2-2.6.18-53.el5xen-1.2.7-1.el5.rpm in the same directory as the other ocfs2-xxxx rpms. I installed that on Lin1 (node1) and that seemed to do the trick. I don't feel too comfortable about having different versions...but we'll see what happens. BTW, I did not opt for the "xen" install on Lin1. Both nodes hardware is the same so how would "xen" be installed on Lin1 and Lin2 something else? And, while were here, what is "xen" in this context?

  • [SOLVED] XOrg fails to load Nvidia driver on startup

    Hi,
    I'm having a fairly strange issue where XOrg is failing to load my driver when I start up my laptop. I'm using kdm, but this is causing it to fail. However, doing a simple
    $sudo systemctl restart kdm
    works, and everything starts up fine. When kdm is in the failed state, I see this:
    $sudo systemctl status kdm

    Hmmmm, that doesn't seem to be the issue. I have a nvidia geforce gtx 670mx. The nvidia website does link me to the 340xx driver for that card, but downgrading to that version still has the same issue. I suspect the issue is in Xorg, since it seems to load the module, but then decides it doesn't have a driver to run for some reason.

  • Cannot load nvidia driver module [SOLVED]

    OK so for some reason I can no longer load the nvidia (proprietary) driver.
    I have a laptop with optimus, on board intel and discrete nvidia GTX680M. I use this laptop for cuda development so I don't care about games etc, I just need the driver loaded to debug and run my cuda  apps. bbswitch still works fine as does bumblebee which I don't use normally but I do have it setup and running in case. Also I didn't really work much on coding last week so not sure exactly when this started.
    So here is what happens when I try to insert the nvidia module or use optirun:
    $ sudo modprobe nvidia
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
    $ sudo insmod nvidia
    insmod: ERROR: could not load module nvidia: No such file or directory

    So in simple terms, the fix invovled ensuring the nvidia module is loaded before the bbswitch module. I'm not sure about the necessity of the things that follow but the fix may possibly also require removing bumblebee and possibly requires removing nvidia from repos and building the driver downloaded from nvidia.
    This fix could be completely unrelated to the problems I was having with arch but I cannot verify the fix on arch specifically cos I installed every distro under the sun trying to get it all working and I got it to work on a non arch distro.
    So... I'm not sure if I should really mark this a solved because I haven't/can't verify it on arch and technically the solution involved changing to another distro but in fact, I know it has absolutely nothing to do with arch since I saw the same behaviour on 3 other distros. If I have time, I will reinstall arch and verify but for the moment, I have a lot of work to catch up on now that I have a working nvidia driver I can actually use for dev
    Anyway, what I think is going on is there is some bizarre issue with bbswitch that stops the nvidia driver from being found because on the current distro I have installed, if I have no bbswitch, no bumblebee and no nvidia modules loaded or services running etc. I can modprobe the nvidia driver and all works fine. I can then modprobe the bbswitch driver and that works too. IF I modprobe the bbswitch driver first and then modprobe the nvidia driver, I get this error that says the nvidia module cant be found. The location it prints is in some updates directory whcih is odd too because I installed from nvidia source and never installed updates at all and made sure that there were absolutely no repo nvidia drivers or updates etc.

  • [SOLVED]Get [FAIL] when loading user specified modules.

    That is it, when the system is booting i get a [FAIL] message when loading user specified modules after upgrading udev, and the kmod new module handling or something as say in the news. I dont have a modprobe.conf or a modprobe.conf.pacsave file either and creating a modprobe.conf file doesn't solve the problem. The strange thing is that the modules are loaded anyways. I mean the ones that are specified in rc.conf. I dont know if the system [FAIL] to load that modules or others...The system works fine for now too.
    Thanks.
    PD: sorry if you notice my poor english.

    I had the same problem and removing the governor performance from rc.conf solved the problem. I tried however to remove both governors and only leave powernow-k8 (this is the only one that works for me) leaving rc.conf like this:
    MODULES=(brcmsmac powernow-k8)
    When I boot the laptop and check which governors are available and being used I get the following:
    [netlak@soulrebel ~]$ cpufreq-info
    cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
    Report errors and bugs to [email protected], please.

    driver: powernow-k8
    CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
    CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
    maximum transition latency: 8.0 us.
    hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.10 GHz
    available frequency steps: 2.10 GHz, 1.50 GHz, 800 MHz
    available cpufreq governors: performance
    current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.10 GHz.
    The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
    within this range.
    current CPU frequency is 2.10 GHz.
    This like as if the ondemand governor would not be available but when unplugging the laptop and check again I get this:
    [netlak@soulrebel ~]$ cpufreq-info
    cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009

    The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
    within this range.
    current CPU frequency is 800 MHz.
    This shows that the ondemand module can be autoloaded when needed, so I leave rc.conf only with powernow-k8.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Questions: On NVIDIA Kernel module and install process

    Hi everyone,
    I have a PCIe 7600 GT card, and trying to get it to work in its full power.
    So far I have not succeeded, and condemned to run in VESA mode. But have one more try to do following the advisory of upgrading kernel and reinstalling the Nvidia driver.
    I have few questions though:
    - I know my kernel as 2.6.15-ARCH (from the dir in /usr/src), but in the above mentioned advisory, there were more digits after ("2.6.16.14-1"). Where in my system, I can locate those micro version numbers, if I need to?
    - My not-yet-working Nvidia driver insrtall (from [testing]) left a kernel module with "agp" in the name. Is it the way it should be, taking into account that I have a PCIe card? Or is this pointing to an install problem?
    - I have browsed the stuff in the 8756 vintage of the Nvidia driver, and noticed that there are references to X11R6 which I do not have (have an  X R7 Xorg). Which one of  the driver-install-script or Arch-PKGBUILD-file has the intelligence to place the files correctly in R6 and R7 installs?
    - The 8756 text also refers to nvidia-xconfig utility, and I did use it in my 64-bit Gentoo install. In my Arch install it is no where to be found. Again,  is this pointing to an install problem?
    Thanks,

    1.
    pacman -Q kernel26
    will give you the minor numbers
    2. no clue
    3. the 8751 driver works fine with xorg 7, so i presume the new one should work also.
    4. no clue
    as an alternative to VESA :
    pacman -S xf86-video-nv
    this will install the open source nvidia driver. It supports only 2D acceleration, but should improve your screen a lot over standard VESA.
    put
    Driver "nv"
    in your device section in xorg.conf to enable it.

  • Oracleasm lib failed to load with "Invalid module format" error

    Hi,
    I'm tring to install the oracleasm lib onto our hardened Redhat EL5 server
    I've download the oracleasm rpm from this page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/linux/asmlib/rhel5.html.
    We're using Redhat 5 U 2
    [root@PG673 modules]# uname -rm
    2.6.18-92.el5 x86_64
    [root@PG673 modules]#
    The package I downloaded is an exact match with our kernel version
    [root@PG673 modules]# rpm -qa | grep asm
    oracleasm-2.6.18-92.el5-2.0.5-1.el5
    oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5
    oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5
    oracleasm-2.6.18-92.el5-2.0.5-1.el5
    oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5
    oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5
    [root@PG673 modules]#
    RPM installation went well, but when we run the /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure command, we hit the following error
    [root@PG673 other]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm: line 207: /usr/sbin/oracleasm: cannot execute binary file
    Later we found out that the oracleasm module haven't been loaded, so we try to load it manually, but we hit the "Invalid module format" error.
    [root@PG673 modules]# modprobe -l | grep asm
    /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm/oracleasm.ko
    [root@PG673 modules]# modprobe oracleasm
    FATAL: Error inserting oracleasm (/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm/oracleasm.ko): Invalid module format
    [root@PG673 modules]#
    As I know this error could happen if the driver version is not match with the system kernel version.
    The problem is we're already using an exact match version of driver with our system, I can't think of what to do next in order to proceed the installation.
    Really appreciate if someone could point me a direction.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    something looks a bit strange for me. On my OEL 5.4 x64 system i have just the following 3 packages:

    Uninstall all asm packages and retry with just those three.
    Good luck!

  • [SOLVED] systemd: create a service file that loads a kernel module

    Hi, I have a daemon that I want to convert to a service unit of systemd.
    The daemon tests if a module is loaded, and if not, modprobes it.
    I do not want to load that module at boot up, only if the service is launched.
    Is there a "proper" way to add something like RequiredModule=xxx to a service unit?
    Thanks!

    Maybe simply run modprobe with ExecStartPre. The command succeeds even if the module was already loaded.
