Insmod NVIDIA-kernel-module-source-TempVersion Failed

[liwang54321]

Version: L4T 35.4.1
Jetson Xavier NX
I compiled the linux kernel with rt patch, and then I compiled NVIDIA-kernel-module-source-TempVersion successfully too, but reported an error when insmod nvidia*.ko ;
Could you tell me how to fix this problem；
Thank you

What is the result of “lsmod” before you insmod the module?

Hi,

Have you run sudo depmod -a after re-flashing with the new kernel?
Ideally, you don’t need to manually insert these modules.

[liwang54321]

Hi, Dave
After build rootfs success, I run depmod -a in qemu, and I tried in jetson-xavier-nx run this cmd, but modprobe still an error; thank you

Hi,

I just noticed that you are using Xavier NX, then it’s expected that modprobing these modules will fail because kernel stuff regarding display is handled differently on Xavier and Orin.
You don’t need these modules on Xavier to have display work.

@liwang54321

After build rootfs success,

By referring to build rootfs, are you using the basic rootfs as you did in this post?

Build basic rootfs success but mount failed

I use the cmd to build a basic rootfs, then decompress and replace the original Linux_for_tegra/rootfs; build linux rt kernel, generate image and flash is also successful, but failed to boot in the initramfs mount file system, is this my error? I can boot it normally with sample fs. boot_failed.txt (60.2 KB) I changed to use / dev/nvme0n1p1 mount, also reported mount error, is using basic file system need other settings? Thank you sudo ./nv_build_samplefs.sh --abi aarch64 --distro ubunt…

If your goal is to have access to GUI, then only the desktop flavor contains packages for GUI, but not the minimal flavor or the basic flavor.

[liwang54321]

Hi Dave
You are right, on xavier nx, jetson can display normally without this driver. After I flash basic rootfs, jetson can also display a terminal UI.
Thank you;
