Re: [CentOS] Question on CentoS 7.4 on nvidia

I think that nvidia-detect could be helpful even on non-stock kernels to find out if you need to use "legacy" or "non-legacy" driver :) On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 4:34 PM, wrote: > Yan Li wrote: > > If you need to use a non stock kernel, you can also try to download the > >

Re: [CentOS] Question on CentoS 7.4 on nvidia

If you need to use a non stock kernel, you can also try to download the latest driver directly from nvidia. The nvidia official driver is very easy to install and works with almost all kernel versions. It can also be easily uninstalled too. On Dec 14, 2017 1:51 PM, "Jerry Geis"

Re: [CentOS] Question on CentoS 7.4 on nvidia

It seems as though 4.14.5 elrepo kernel does not generate any initramfs. It seems nvidia needs to be apart of that. Is that correct ? If so how do I tell it to actually generate the initramfs Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org

So I removed the nvidia items and reinstalled. In /var/log/messages I saw dracut commands for every kernel EXCEPT the 4.14.5 elrepo kernel. So I did it manually and I get an error. /usr/bin/dracut --add-drivers nvidia -f /boot/initramfs-4.14.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.img 4.14.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

Find the akmod-nvidia package. Last I bothered with this some years ago, the akmod package was required to ensure the nvidia module would be rebuilt every time a new kernel was booted into. Mark On Thu, 2017-12-14 at 16:51 -0500, Jerry Geis wrote: > I installed the elrepo kmod-nvidia and also

[CentOS] Question on CentoS 7.4 on nvidia

I installed the elrepo kmod-nvidia and also the nvidia-detect and modules (see below). I had X working with the 3.10 from Centos - but video was freezing. SO I thought I would try the elrepo kernel. I installed that and X does not come up? How do I re-make the nvidia module for 4.14.5 kernel? I
