Problem installing driver 418.67-1.0-1 on centOS 7

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hi everyone, I post this message because I have some troubles installing Nvidia drivers 418.67-1.0-1
(file nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-rhel7-418.67-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm from this link : NVIDIA - Téléchargements de pilotes)

I previously tried to install using Elrepo nvidia-detect and kmod-nvidia drivers without success. After a clean uninstall I sticked to the official drivers and launched nvidia-bug-report.sh you will find attached.

Here are few usefull commands :

[root@wqya0749 ~]# rpm -q centos-release

The nouveau driver is loaded, please blacklist it manually (don’t know why the driver package didn’t do it). E.g. create a file /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf with contents

blacklist nouveau

and run dracut -f afterwards, then reboot.

Thanks for your reply ! I would like the problem to be that easy but in fact I already blacklisted nouveau from everywhere as you can see :

[root@wqya0749 ~]# ls /etc/modprobe.d/
blacklist.conf                 blacklist-nouveau.conf.rpmsave  disable-nouveau.conf    lockd.conf  nouveau_blacklist.conf  nouveau-kms.conf                       truescale.conf
blacklist-nouveau.conf.rpmnew  dccp-blacklist.conf             firewalld-sysctls.conf  mlx4.conf   nouveau-blacklist.conf  nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf  tuned.conf

But indeed it looks like for some reasons nouveau is still running …

I still tried to create again the file and ran dracut in case of some miracles but nope. I attached the fresh new logs after this move.

I just noticed that this is a VM with pci passthrough, an important detail. Please see this:
