Nvidia Driver Failed To Build Kernel Module

As it turns out this isn t the right version to build kernel modules at least at ubuntu 14 04 lts.

Nvidia driver failed to build kernel module. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel or if a driver such as rivafb nvidiafb or nouveau is present and prevents the nvidia kernel module from obtaining ownership of the nvidia graphics device s or no nvidia gpu installed in. Recently i ve set gccto be associated with gcc 6. Please consult the nvidia driver readme and your linux distribution s documentation for details on how to correctly disable the nouveau kernel driver. You should be right for the hp delivered driver the sles 12 is sp3.

For some distributions nouveau can be disabled by adding a file in the modprobe configuration directory. I have nouveau uninstalled and blacklisted but i m assuming i need the source code to build the driver before it will work. Today i faced similar error after attempting to update nvidia drivers. The nvidia installer log shows a kernel configuration is invalid error and then istructs me to run make oldconfig make prepare on kernel src to fix it.

Rpm qa grep kernel. It turned out that the problem was caused by different compiler used to build the kernel module. Hello everybody i m trying to install the nvidia driver for a fresh installation of opensuse 11 4 32 bit but i m running into some issues. Thank you for your response.

I made an update to centos 7 5 with last kernel aviable but kernel module no load. Linux ngrid 3 10 0 862 2 3 el7 x86 64 1 smp wed may 9 18 05 47 utc 2018 x86 64 x86 64 x86 64 gnu linux.
