Hi the issue is solved, if the AMD mem encryption is disabled. Thanks for your help.
A list of mandatory kernel parameters and such which do not work out however would be nice.

Thomas, is the only way to do this to recompile the kernel?

Since being made aware of this issue we’ve updated our README (starting with driver version 418.56) with instructions for disabling Secure Memory Encryption at build-time or run-time.

Thanks. In that case,that is not the problem I am facing.
My grub default has

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 mem_encrypt=off"

and I’ve done update-grub. I still see the RMI Fail issue.

Also having the RmInitAdapter failure. nvidia-smi doesn’t show the card /proc/cmdline is:

cat /proc/cmdline

Looks like 430 driver solved it for me. Hope that helps.

It has been fixed and integrated into upcoming driver release.
