[solved] stock kernel boot on xen fail

Hi all,
I install the archlinux on xen (http://prgmr.com/xen/) with the formal kernel
when boot the system, I get this error
xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: unknown compression format
Anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks for your reply. I have changed to use kernel26-xen from aur and it works.
It seems that the stock kernel uses xz to compress bzImage. And pygrub should only support gzip bzImage (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515831) for xen3.x. For xen4.0, lzma and bzip2 are supported
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0)
[hongy19@Archlinux linux-2.6.38-ARCH]$ cat .config |grep -i config_kernel
# CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set
CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
So I guess the stock kernel could not used with xen right now.

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux Boot from USB fails while loading kernel

    I am attempting to get arch linux booting off my usb. I use cfdisk to create a /dev/sdb1 partition then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1, mount the usb, pacstrap it, use install-syslinux_update -iam, generate fstab and then attempt to boot from it.
    The boot extracts the kernel but then complains that DEVICE is missing in the option APPEND root=DEVICE (in syslinux.cfg). I looked in /dev/disk (on the temporary filesystem shell), it showed my ssd and cd drive but not the usb. Does anyone know what could be causing the USB to not load in that particular section of the kernel?

    Since you'll probably want to boot from different computers (portable USB system), you want to remove 'autodetect' from that line. This is the same as always booting the initramfs-linux-fallback.img image. To save some space, you could remove 'autodetect' from the configuration file, disable the fallback image in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset  and delete initramfs-linux.img (otherwise, you'll get two identical images).
    Of course, run mkinitcpio -P when you're done.

  • [SOLVED] Archiso releng: booting (in qemu) fails...

    Hello
    I'm trying to build a modified live media using archiso. The distant goal would be to create a live PXE server that acts as an installation server for (other) pre-configured linux images.
    But now I'm a bit stuck at the beginning...
    I tried to follow the Archiso wiki closely to create a modified iso. Using the releng profile and acting as root.
    However, even when leaving the profile completely unmodified, booting it (using qemu) fails.
    To create the iso I used (acc. to the wiki):
    # ./build.sh -v
    I don't have the full output anymore, but a big portion is here: http://pastebin.com/LdCrWxEB
    It looked okay to me.
    Note that booting the official iso using qemu (tested 2014.11 and 2014.09) works perfectly fine.
    So, I think I must be missing something - maybe obvious ?
    This is the output I got in the VM: http://s16.postimg.org/jfzbm21xh/boot_fail.png
    (Sorry for the screenshot, but I can't just copy this from the VM.)
    And this is the command I used for qemu:
    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom archlinux-2014.11.15-dual.iso
    Before this, I copied the iso from releng/out/ to my home and changed owner and group to my user.
    Maybe something special is needed to boot it in qemu ?
    I haven't tested the baseline profile, but I think that's what I'll do next.
    I can see some somewhat similar threads, of people trying to create a multi-boot usb or having problems with UEFI, e.g.:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188504 (no solution/ I don't understand)
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157948 (I don't think it applies here)
    Thanks
    Edit: Using baseline results in the same error.
    Edit: Putting the image on a USB stick (using dd) results in the same error as well, so the problem isn't with qemu.

    Oh, thank you so much. That fixed it!
    You did not posted any boot error [...]
    Well, I posted the screenshot ("output of the VM"), because I couldn't copy the text from the VM. And I guess I was too lazy to type... It contains the boot error.
    Edit: In order to eventually help people find this, I'm typing the error partially, here:
    :: Mounting /run/archiso/cowspace (tmpfs) filesystem, size=75%...
    losetup: cannot find an unused loop device
    :: Mounting '' to '/run/archiso/sfs/airootfs'
    Waiting 30 seconds for device...
    ERROR: '' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
    Falling back to interactive prompt
    You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished

  • [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

    Update 2012-03-31: Workaround confirmed to work, see tenthirteen's post.
    Update 2012-02-03: I've narrowed down the problem to the 3.x kernels. Downgrading to kernel26-2.6.38.5-1, with the other packages up-to-date (using nouveau instead of nvidia driver), solves the problem. Still, I still consider this a problem since it forces me to use an older kernel, so if anyone has any idea how to find the problem I would be very thankful!
    When I came back home after the summer vacations I did a huge upgrade with pacman -Syu (of course I read the announcements before). This included linux (3.0.3-1) from kernel26 (2.6.38.5-1) and udev (167-2 -> 173-3). After this point, the boot process randomly fails from time to time; today I had to restart more than 20 times before my machine would boot successfully.
    It always occurs during "Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed". Some of the errors are:
    1. The computer freezes when the message is shown (cursor stops to blink).
    2. Nothing happens for a long time, then Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed [ FAIL ]s.
    3. Short and long error messages that look similar to this guy's (except for the last line).
    I greped for some of the error messages in /var/log but they don't seem to be logged, so the examples below are from my handwritten notes and thus not very complete (there are a lot of other error messages except these lines). It's also possible that there are some mistakes. Note that they're from different boots.
    BUG: Soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23 s! [modprobe:256]
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel
    --[End ...]--
    note: udevd[225] exited with preempt_count 2

    BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000286
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
    These errors are seemingly arbitrary which makes it very hard to find the problem. Sometimes it works without a single complaint, sometimes it says something about "No caching mode page present, Assuming drive cache: write through", and sometimes I get different errors (the examples above are only from today!). As you can imagine, it gets pretty annoying.
    So far I've tried to:
    * Use the fallback mode - nope.
    * Rerun mkinitcpio -p linux - nope.
    * Append noapic and nomodeset to the kernel in GRUB - nope.
    * Install and try kernel26-lts - seems to work, although I don't understand what other differences there are (e.g., it doesn't start X). At least this seems to suggest that it's not a hardware problem.
    * Unplug all USB devices before boot - sometimes works, sometimes not. Doesn't seem to be a direct connection.
    * Remove my custom settings in /etc/modprobe.d - nope.
    * A lot of other things I've forgotten.
    Edit: I forgot to mention, once it's booted, the system works perfectly fine. No kernel panics etc. That's the second reason why I suspect it's not a hardware failure.
    I've been thinking about trying to downgrade the kernel and udev, but with the renaming and all dependencies I'm not sure how to do that.
    Since I've run out of ideas how to troubleshoot this issue, I would appreciate if I could get some suggestions here. I've search around and found similar posts but no solution that works for me.

    I've temporarily fixed the problem by doing the following:
    removed cryptsetup (1.3.1-2)
    removed lvm2 (2.02.88-1)
    removed mdadm (3.2.2-4)
    removed linux (3.0.6-2)

    I also restored my old /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf.
    I'm still interested in a solution to the original problem. Is it a problem with my configuration, the new kernel, the udev version or something else?
    The difference in inittab is just a -s option and the mkinitcpio.conf files are the same except for some comments. rc.conf has the biggest changes and is now (removed comments):

  • [SOLVED] Custom kernel, init fails.

    I've been trying to get xen (community/xen package) working for quite some time now and I'm quite stuck. Raid support is built in to the dom0 kernel but it was missing support for my sata chipset (sata_nv) so it didn't see my drives. I downloaded the xenified kernel sources from xen.org and recompiled the kernel with the dom0 config in /boot/. Now it sees the drives but init crashes with.
    (had to type this so I skipped quite a lot of the dump and there might be typos)
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP:
    [<ffffffff805a0f08>] netlink_insert+0x58/0x110
    Call Trace:
    [<ffffffff805a12a5>] netlink_bind+0xc5/0x220
    [<ffffffff80585c59>] sys_bin+0x69/0xa0
    [<ffffffff805860bc>] sys_setsockopt+0x6c/0xc0
    [<ffffffff8020a8d8>] system_call+0x69/0x6d
    [<ffffffff8020a870>] system_call+0x0/0x6d
    This doesn't happen with the kernel provided in the package and the only thing that has been changed from the provided configuration is the sata driver. I'm really lost with this, if somebody knows how to build a working xen dom0 kernel I could use some insight. If you need more info just ask thou I don't have much to give since I don't have any kind of logs.
    EDIT: Actually it might happen even with the provided kernel, I'm not sure if it gets that far before failing because it can't find my hds.
    EDIT2: Changed the topic to a little more descriptive one since my questions doesn't really have anything to do with raid 5 .
    EDIT3: Changed topic as below it doesn't seem to have anything to do with xen.

    Ok I finally managed to boot in to XEN. I modified the PKGBUILD for the xen package to generate the generic XEN kernel (no different kernels for dom0 and domU). Here's the PKGBUILD I used.

    pkgver=3.1.2
    _kernelver=2.6.18

    I also did mkinitcpio -k 2.6.18 -g /boot/kernel26xen.img, don't know if that's needed but I'm not going to test it now .

  • [SOLVED] Black screen after kernel boot after pacman -Syu

    Hi, after full system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I get after the kernel boot black screen and everything is freezing. Then need to manually shut down the power button!
    Normally when my system starts up after the kernel boot I get straight to the command line terminal login.
    Can anybody help me how to fix this? Any clues? Any advice is welcome!
    The problem is solved by downgrading to kernel 3.6.11.-1
    Many thanks for the help from the people on #archlinux !

    What have you done about the errors being printed to your logs? You could start by fixing the network error and the broken udev rule...
    Are you still using intiscripts? They are no longer supported: https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/

    I have searched for many hours and days for solutions on the internet and forums, tried some things, but with no results! I don't know how to fix the errors! Do you know how to fix that? I'm a total n00b! I'm doing my best as I can! Need help, thanks!

  • [Solved] How to Suppress Kernel Boot Error Messages?

    In
    /var/log/errors.log
    I get this output while booting:

    sdb is an external USB 2.0 2TB harddrive formatted as NTFS.  My /etc/fstab line for it is:
    /dev/sdb1 /media/Win_USB ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=0022 0 0
    My
    /etc/udev/rules.d/
    directory is empty.
    The drive works correctly both under Arch and under Windows 7 in this machine's dual-boot.  Googling so far has shown that the above errors are nothing out of the ordinary.
    I would like to suppress just those error messages on boot and also do not write them to errors.log.
    I do not even have a clue for what I should be searching for to do that.  Perhaps someone can helpfully point me to the correct page in the Wiki?

  • [Solved] Can't boot into Arch after deleting some partitons

    About 6 months ago I installed Arch on a machine that used to run Ubuntu. Had some trouble at the time getting to boot into Arch but somehow managed. Now eventually decided to delete the old Ubuntu partitons to free up some space using gparted. Arch partition number changed from sda12 to sda6.
    On rebooting after deleting ubuntu partitions with gparted, I got an ubuntu splash screen and a whole lot of ubuntu boot options. Somehow these were all contained in my Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Arch is all on one partition and no separate boot partition (which I had with Ubuntu - maybe I haven't deleted that and this is the problem?). Will need to check that out.
    I can chroot into Arch and did the following -
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
    (hd0,5)
    grub> root (hd0,5)
    Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    grub> setup (hd0)
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
    Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
    succeeded
    Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeed
    ed
    Done.

    I need to post this now and come back from a different machine to note the error messages I am now getting on boot. ...
    Note that when I boot and press esc to get the menu I get the menu.lst I created (in the second quote) above in /dev/sda6, ie the one with the Arch hd and uuid entries - so grub is looking there and finding that menu.lst, but something goes wrong after that.
    OK. Have now booted the machine and after pressing esc and selecting the uuid entry (the same thing happens with the hd entry) I get a whole lot of stuff, but what seems relevant is (typing it out) -
    List of all partitions:
    No filesystem could mount root, tried:
    Kernel panic - not syncing: VS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
    Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-Arch #1
    If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. This is my MythTV machine so the WAF is about to take a big dive!
    If I could just install grub to the MBR as if this was a new installation of Arch that would be great.
    I am really lost as to what is going on, which I'm sure is evident.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi. Unfortunately that didn't help.
    So next, based on this post https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … el_version I chrooted into Arch and (a) rolled back and (b) reinstalled my kernel but that didn't help either. I suspected it wouldn't because the kernel was working fine before I deleted the partitions in question.

    I then did a pacman -Suy and the linux package has now replaced kernel26. ( See this wiki entry http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/). I didn't change anything in menu.lst owing to this and it seems there is no need to. Unfortunately this hasn't helped either - still getting the kernel panic.

    I don't think I've mentioned that my old menu.lst seems to have disappeared and so must have been on one of the partitions that were deleted. I did have 2 Arch installations when I was setting things up months ago and that menu.lst may have been on the other partition but pointing to this partiton's kernel for booting. Presumably that's possible since this partiton is definitely the one I have been using for the last several months (confirmed by log and other files updated in the last few days etc). Even so, I suppose that probably wouldn't be relevant to this issue, since grub is finding the menu.lst on this partition when it boots so it is looking in the intended place now.
    It seems I'm at a bit of a dead end. It seems these kernel panics are usually because there is something wrong with the kernel - which there wasn't with mine (and presumably the kernel in the new linux package is fine) or there is a typo in menu.lst (I can't see one and nobody has pointed one out yet) or menu.lst is pointing to the wrong partition (mine is pointing to the same partition and /boot directory that is found by grub - which is where my boot image is located - so it seems to be correct). I have nevertheless tried editing the menu.lst entry when booting to boot from different partitions but so far that hasn't worked either.
    If anybody has other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
    If not, some suggestions on re-installing would also be appreciated. I have a recent tar archive of the partition, but presumably reinstalling that wouldn't be of much use since it would just put back what is currently there. I guess that I need to format the partition, create a separate boot partition, do a fresh install of Arch into the formatted partition (and with boot in the new boot partition). And then restore my tar backup (excluding the boot directory) into the formatted partition?
    Any assistance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • [Solved]Virtualbox kernel module not loaded

    I update my system today and when I try to run Virtualbox...
    WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
    available for the current kernel (3.6.11-1-ARCH) or it failed to
    load. Please reinstall the kernel module virtualbox-host-modules or
    if you don't use our stock kernel compile the modules with
    sudo dkms autoinstall
    You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
    I already had this trouble before and this was the fix
    # modprobe vboxdrv
    But it doesn't work anymore
    Any ideas?
    Edit: This just get fixed by itself when restaring my PC. Sorry

  • [SOLVED] Custom kernel & nvidia

    Hello.
    So i wanted to learn about kernel building for a while and finally decided to jump in. (also i am a new Archlinux user)
    I read the wiki and wanted to try the "traditional" way first so i grabbed the 3.10.0 vanilla tarball and thanks to the wiki, successully compiled and booted it. (i didn't bother trying to start X at this point).
    Then i wanted to use the Arch "abs" way because i wanted to build my custom kernel from the same Arch stable kernel sources (nothing in the 3.10 gives me a boner and the stable arch sources are enough "bleeding edge" for me).
    I followed the wiki procedure and built my linux-3.9.9-1-custom.tar.xz package, then i installed it without any issue. Finally i updated GRUB2 and booted this kernel to make sure it was working.
    Well, it was.
    At this point i knew i had to build a custom nvidia package to make X working so i followed the wiki procedure to build it.
    Here is my PKGBUILD:

    gzip "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/modules/${_extramodules}/nvidia.ko"
    However when i tried to run makepkg, i got the following error:
    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.
    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
    the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
    directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
    kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
    their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
    After messing around for quite some time, i discovered nvidia was expecting stuff in the follwing directory:
    /usr/lib/modules/3.9.9-1-custom/build/
    But the build dir did not exist. I looked into the 3.9.9-1-ARCH and found that the build dir was indeed present in the stock kernel directory.
    Since i was stuck i tried the following:
    ln -s /usr/lib/modules/3.9.9-1-ARCH/build /usr/lib/modules/3.9.9-1-custom/build
    and ran makepkg again: it built the package with no issue, so I installed the package.
    I rebooted my machine thinking this ugly hack solved my problem.
    I was wrong...
    When i tried to start X i got this error (using the custom kernel):
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Exec format error

    Did you install the kernel headers when you build the custom package?  You need something to build against, and that /usr/modules/3.9.9-1-ARCH/build is a symlink that is owned by linux-headers.  It points to /usr/src/linux-3.9.9-1-ARCH.  So by symlinking that "build" from ARCH to custom, you are effectively building the module against the wrong headers. 
    Check to make sure that you have installed the headers as well as the kernel.  The PKGBUILD for linux will build multiple packages (linux, linux-headers, and linux-docs).  I like to have all three, since the docs package contains some amazing information and is totally worth the ~16MB of space.  Do you have a directory set for storing built packages?  It is probably a good idea, so that you can keep them around.
    BTW, installing headers using the "traditional method" would include issuing the "make headers-install" command as root (from the source directory of course).  Did you do that?

  • [SOLVED] Unable to boot after CLI shutdown

    Fresh install Archlinux (3.8.4-1-ARCH) + KDE
    From KDE console, I did a shutdown with  the following command
    # shutdown -h -P now
    I observed the following messages on the screen (no errors apparently):
    [ OK ] Stopped Getty on tty1.
    [ OK ] Stopped K Display Manager.

    [ OK ] Stopped /etc/netctl/wireless generated by archboot setup.

    [ OK ] Stopped Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
    Starting Save Random Seed...
    Starting Update UTMP about System Shutdown.
    [ OK ] Reached target Shutdown.
    But the PC does not  power off, it hangs at the last  message and I had to press the power off button.
    When I started the PC again I got  plenty of errors  of type “failed to mount /boot “, “Dependency failed for local file systems”  and so on.
    Then, I boot from CD and changed root to try to mount  the existing partitions of my HD:
    /dev/sda1 --> boot
    /dev/sda2 --> swap
    /dev/sda3  --> root
    /dev/sda4 --> home
    Partitions were successfully mounted
    What I did next was to install again the bootloader  (syslinux)  and    try to  reboot  the   system
    This time I got the following boot sequence:
    Booting the kernel
    :: running early hook [udev]
    :: running hook [udev]
    :: Triggering uevents...
    :: running hook [keymap]
    :: Loading keymap...done.
    :: performing fsck on ‘/dev/sda3’
    ROOT_ARCH: clean, 161613/3203072 files, 1465739/12800000 blocks
    :: mounting ‘/dev/sda3’ on real root
    :: running cleanup hook [udev]
    ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist.
    Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
    sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off
    [rootfs /] #
    And the cursor gets stuck at the rootfs promtpt,  no chance to type anything ...
    I’ve googled for this error and came up with this link:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146388
    But editing the kernel parameters as  stated in the link did not fix my  problem,  it just brought me back to the situation where it failed to mount the local filesystems
    I installed archlinux & KDE from scratch again . But performing a CLI shutdown   got me into the very same problem again ....
    I’ve revised the mkinitcpio.conf and I seem to have all the hooks (using the default config by the way). ¿Could be related to KDE?
    No idea how to proceed now.

  • Hyper-V kernel modules prevent Xen-kernel from finding disk drives

    Hi,
        I tried booting Xen-kernel 4.3 in a Hyper-V virtual machine. The vm runs Debian7, which uses hv modules for Hyper-V. When I boot the normal kernel, it is fine, but booting Debian's xen-kernel doesn't work, because no virtual disk drives
    can be found. This looks like an issue with the hv modules, because without them, the xen-kernel boots fine. I tested this by using an older Debian6, where hv modules are not loaded by default.
    Regards,
    Sladi

    the PV kernel "kernel-xen" is specific to the xen hypervisor.
    This kernel will not boot on any other hypervisor.
    Where the xen VM container in this case is a PV VM.  Hyper-V only creates HVM type VM containers (To use xen language).
    So yes, the pae or 'regular' kernel will wirk in a Hyper-V vm, the PV kernel ('kernel-xen') will not.
    It has nothing to do with the hv components - it is the kernel itself and the differences in how they work and their expectations.
    Also, only the HVM type VM is transportable across hypervisor platforms.  The xen PV type VM is not, it will only run on xen.

  • Stock Kernel == vanilla Kernel ?

    Hi
    is there a difference between the stock/ftp upgraded kernel26  and  then vanilla (ftp.kernel.org) Kernel, are there any patches aplied with the ARCH version ? I mean if both have the same version number ?
    triple fault

    This is the pkgbuild for the stock kernel, as you can see there are several patches apllied.

  • [Solved] Unable to boot Arch off SUSE GrUB

    Hi,
    I have several OS installed on my machine. I used to boot everything including Arch but BSD, Solaris & PCBSD with GrUB2 off UbuntuStudio. Earlier today I installed SUSE GrUB on sda and now I am unable to boot Arch. I've used SUSE GrUB earlier and was able to boot Arch off it.
    Here is my menu.lst

  • Stock kernel isn't compatible with nvidia-dkms and nvidia-hook?

    Hello pals
    I'm using linux-ice, linux-lqx and linux-ck kernels with nvidia-dkms and nvidia-hook. Everything is ok, with kde upping.
    I've started from stock kernel. During the dkms (or hook, I don't remember) pacman says that nvidia and nvidia(dkms or hook) were incompatible... remove nvidia? I've selected yes
    After it, stock kernel don't upps the kde... stays on black screen. Login on tty1, 2 or 3 is possible, with ctrl+alt+F1...F3, but, kde with kernel don't works
    no errors appears.
    to force stock kernel been compiled by hook, I wait a while, when using the other kernels, and yesterday I did a "Syyu"
    new kernel, new linux-headers too... but still blank screen
    I only can use stock kernel and Nvidia driver, not dkms/hook installed one?

    Ok, i know little about dkms / mkinitcpio hooks , but best option seems to try and build the nividia module manually to get more info.
    nvidia-hook gets sources from here : https://github.com/alucryd/mkinitcpio-hooks/ ,
    build ()
    _version=$(pacman -Qs '^nvidia$'|sed 's/^[^ ]* \|-[0-9]*$//g;2d')
    echo "Building nvidia modules for ${KERNELVERSION} kernel..."
    dkms install nvidia/${_version} -k ${KERNELVERSION}/_arch
    echo "Ok."
    help ()
    cat<<HELPEOF
    This hook rebuilds nvidia modules. It does nothing to the initrd image.
    HELPEOF
    looks like all the hook does is run dkms install, try running that command manually to get more info.
