Nvidia-drivers-410.73 fails to make a usable kernel module if you do NOT have power-management configured into your kernel. Compiling nvidia-drivers is not an issue, as it compiles perfectly fine. However, if you try booting the system with the new drivers, results without X11. Dmsg output listed these lines multiple times when the system tries loading nvidia driver: [ 7.937569] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_freeze (err 0) [ 7.937600] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_restore (err 0) [ 7.937619] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_poweroff (err 0) [ 7.937733] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_thaw (err 0) [ 7.937745] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_resume (err 0) [ 7.937762] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_suspend (err 0) [ 7.976259] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_freeze (err 0) [ 7.976289] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_restore (err 0) [ 7.976307] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_poweroff (err 0) [ 7.976397] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_thaw (err 0) [ 7.976409] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_resume (err 0) [ 7.976426] nvidia: Unknown symbol nv_pmops_suspend (err 0)
The patch posted located in the url link I added, semi-works. I say semi-works, as the paths for the files specified is wrong. Upon correcting the paths, it is works fine. The correct header paths should be like: nvidia-410.73-orig/kernel/common/inc/nv-proto.h instead of nvidia-410.73-orig/common/inc/nv-proto.h
Not sure if my comment is related to this particular the problem 410.73 builds fine for me too, but it doesn't work at all, like any 410.xx-drivers. Even though I have CONFIG_PM=y, it still doesn't work with both 4.18 and 4.19 kernels. ivan@pc ~ $ zgrep -i config_pm /proc/config.gz CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="" CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=y CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP=y # CONFIG_PM_AUTOSLEEP is not set # CONFIG_PM_WAKELOCKS is not set CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_PM_CLK=y # CONFIG_PMIC_OPREGION is not set # CONFIG_PMBUS is not set # CONFIG_PMIC_ADP5520 is not set # CONFIG_PMIC_DA903X is not set CONFIG_PMC_ATOM=y # CONFIG_PM_DEVFREQ is not set When I try to boot, I get following messages: * Remounting remaining filesystems read-only ... * Remounting / read only ... * Failed because we are using / * ERROR: mount-ro failed to start If I downgrade driver back to 396.54, everything is fine again. I'll try your patch later and I'll post if there are any changes.
Applied the patch, but no luck. System's behavior doesn't change with or without patch. I guess, I have another widely-spread problem: https://bugs.gentoo.org/667362

From my understanding of going through the patch, it seems all of the symbols defined by nvivia but are only compiled based on some power management configuration. I haven't gone through nvidia's code (to figure out where/when it is defined). Going by the symbol naming convention, I'd hazard a guess these symbols are related to PM hibernation/sleep. Anything beyond that, I'd have no way to know or test, as my machines don't use any power management beyond turning on or off. Again note: The patch's paths need to be fixed to apply correctly to the code. (I didn't make the patch, nor claim credit for it in anyway beyond identifying what needs to be fixed so the patch can applied.)
Just to say that I had the same problem. I migrated from x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.87 to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-410.78. I can't test with nvidia-drivers-415.25, my GeForce 660 Ti is not officially compatible based on https://www.nvidia.fr/Download/index.aspx?lang=fr. With nvidia-drivers-390.87, gdm starts, With nvidia-drivers-410.78, gdm fails. I can confirm that compile the kernel with CONFIG_PM enabled solves the problem. So for nvidia-drivers-410.78, I think that CONFIG_PM must be set.
Created attachment 559070 [details] Xorg.0.log.gz Error while trying to load nvidia from Xorg while CONFIG_PM is disabled.
Created attachment 559072 [details] dmesg.log.gz Problem occurs after "nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel."
