Also happens with previous kernels, happened to me with 4.4. This may explain that: https://twitter.com/Cynede/status/765879300348342272?lang=es Workaround: install the previous version (367.35-r1) with this patch: http://pastebin.com/cw1tncgm Works fine with kernel 4.7.

It's doing something completely different. The best workaround is apparently to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES. Your best bet for a fix is to report this to Nvidia to get an official fix. Couldn't we at least add a preinst check? (In reply to Louis Sautier (sbraz) from comment #3) > Couldn't we at least add a preinst check? Depends on what the scope is in nvidia-drivers versions. I must remember you just one thing: Nvidia-drivers 370.23 is a BETA version. The 367.35 is the latest stable version. This may explain lot of things. At least create a beta slot or mention such versions when beta. (In reply to jorgicio from comment #5) > I must remember you just one thing: Nvidia-drivers 370.23 is a BETA version. I happen to know this. > The 367.35 is the latest stable version. Yes. > This may explain lot of things. For example? > At least create a beta slot or mention such versions when beta. You don't appear to know what SLOTs are for. How do you suggest I "mention" this?

That's the point: there's NOT a beta slot. Period. Created attachment 445616 [details, diff]
kernel_mutex_debug_no_gpl.patch
There's a workaround for this and does NOT need to set CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=n: just patch the kernel, rebuild, and then try to install the latest version of nvidia-drivers.
Also, this is NOT solved in upstream, so it must NOT to mark this bug as such.
Still an issue for nvidia-drivers 375.26 (and linux 4.4.38) which is the latest stable nvidia driver (stable according to nvidia). It would be great if the ebuild did a preinstall check to warn about this. Comment on attachment 445616 [details, diff]
kernel_mutex_debug_no_gpl.patch
Kernel authors would be livid if that was patched in.
Same problem with nvidia-drivers 375.26 and linux 4.4.26 x86_64. This did not happen with nvidia-drivers 361.28 and linux 4.4.26 x86_64. I have no DEBUG_MUTEX set in my .config, r9-008cln ~ # grep -i MUTEX /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y # Lock Debugging (spinlocks, mutexes, etc...) # CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH is not set however my build of nvidia-drivers-378.09 fails with the above error (I use rt-sources-4.8.14_p9) Checking the current status of this bug since we no longer have any of the 36x.xx series drivers in the current portage tree to fall back to. ~ # ls /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/ files/ metadata.xml nvidia-drivers-173.14.39-r2.ebuild nvidia-drivers-340.102.ebuild nvidia-drivers-378.13.ebuild nvidia-drivers-96.43.23-r1.ebuild Manifest nvidia-drivers-173.14.39-r1.ebuild nvidia-drivers-304.135.ebuild nvidia-drivers-375.39.ebuild nvidia-drivers-381.09.ebuild I have the same problem with nvidia-drivers-381.09 and kernel 4.11 and the following symbols: `refcount_inc` and `refcount_dec_and_test`. As there are other problems with this (unsupported) setup, I will create a dedicated report with the patches I created. (In reply to Nicolas Porcel from comment #14) > I have the same problem with nvidia-drivers-381.09 and kernel 4.11 and the > following symbols: `refcount_inc` and `refcount_dec_and_test`. So that's not the same problem at all. See bug #618216. I was also hit by this today (kernel x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-384.90 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.13.6). Some check or at least a warning would have been nice and also would have saved me some time searching for this. Hit this with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.87 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-{4.14.87,4.14.88} using sys-kernel/genkernel-next-69.
