I believe that I have identified why the newer nvidia drivers which
depend on the new nvidia_drm kernel module fail on Mac hardware. That
new module depends on the ipmi modules. On Mac hardware, unsurprisingly,
the ipmi_si module fails to load and the ipmi device is not created.
Motherboards with issues supporting on the PC probably explain the
similar errors reported at...
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1037997/xid-61-black-screen-on-
startup-ubuntu-18-04-gtx-1060-mobile/
So Ubuntu should definitely hold onto the nvidia-340 package as long as
possible to support that hardware.
