384.11 driver crashes kernel

Graphics / Linux Linux
#1

EDIT: It’s actually the 387.34 driver, but the previous driver had the same problem.

This problem made my computer unbootable. Because DKMS installs the driver to all kernels, none of my installed kernels would boot properly. I reinstalled Debian. Then started using sgfxi instead to install the drivers without DKMS, so I can boot another kernel to remove the drivers.

Oddly enough, Debian doesn’t come with persistent logs turned on, but I managed to enable them, and this is the report I get:

I tried again today. The current Debian kernel is fine but the Liquorix kernel crashes. This time the log contains one more line.

I ran the bug report script twice, before and after the crash.
nvidia-bug-report-1.log.gz (130 KB)

#3

You attached the same report twice, they’re from 15:01:47, crash occured at 15:06:29
General hints: did you check if you’re affected by the Ryzen bug?
https://github.com/suaefar/ryzen-test
Did you check if the gpu is working in another system? Did an earlier driver version work?

#4

I went through RMA for the segfault bug that script pertains to and I don’t get those anymore, although I do get the random occasional hard crashes that AMD seems to be incapable of fixing. I’ve tried various BIOS settings, and these crashes don’t leave anything of note in the system log. But this is definitely not related.

The GPU works. The driver also works if I start X just after installing without rebooting. Something happens during bootup that crashes the driver. One possibility I can think of is that using a CRT monitor has something to do with it. In the bootup log I get “nvidiafb: unable to detect display type”. By the backtraces it does look like the crash is related to nvidiafb.

I looks like the bug report script will not overwrite a bug report if one already exists, so I ended up copying the file again thinking it had been changed.

#5

Ok, you just found the solution that I didn’t see: nvidiafb is no part of the official nvidia driver. It comes with the kernel and has to be blacklisted like nouveau.
