The driver is installed from stock dnf repository. $ dmesg | grep -i nvidia\\\|nvrm [ 7.552704] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [ 7.684214] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 510 [ 7.685578] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003…

Found the culprit: attempting to load NVidia firmware since 520 leads to the above failure. Disabling “NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware” in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf allows the driver to function normally.

Does it work with an earlier driver, e.g. 470? If not, the gpu is likely broken.

The last version it worked was 520.x. Thereafter all other versions failed. But since Fedora 37 moved to kernel 6.2 the 520.x no longer compiles for 6.2 and I have no working driver at all.

Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.

Did you already check for bios updates?

Yes, I’m running fwupdmgr, it’s the latest.

Again, to confirm, I had NO issues with NVidia drivers regardless of bios version until 525. Starting with 525 drivers basically no longer work. And 520 does not compile with kernel 6.2 at all, i.e. I have no usable drivers at present. Also, I can’t use CUDA 12+ with driver 520, even if it works.
