Hello, I am reporting a consistent initialization failure on my ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 when GSP firmware is enabled.
Hardware:
- Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 - CPU: Intel Core i9-11950H (Tiger Lake)
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX A3000 Mobile (GA104 / Ampere)
- OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed (Kernel 6.18.5)
- Driver versions tested: 580.x (Proprietary and Open Kernel Modules)
Problem: When GSP is enabled (default in recent drivers or via NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=1), the GPU fails to initialize.
The kernel log shows multiple occurrences of:
“NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x62:0x40:2661)”
“nvidia-drm: Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice”
Workaround: Setting “options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0” completely resolves the issue, and the GPU works perfectly.
This issue persists across both the proprietary and the open-gpu-kernel-modules, suggesting a firmware-level issue or a timing conflict with this specific laptop’s BIOS/Bus. I have attached the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz.
