I have AWS EC2 new machine g6f with L4 GPU
I install nvidia-drvier-595-server but still have kernel error

This is very strange as the open flavor should support Ada…
Try adding NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1 and see if it helps, if not then try switching to the proprietary flavor.

I think it is a misleading error because I remove the open driver and installed nvidia-drvier-595-server not open and still have the same error

Are you sure this one is “proprietary”? To be sure, I’d try cuda-drivers from the NV DC repo.

Also, how about NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1?
