Hi Everyone
I am building a custom livecd which will be used by machines with the nvidia graphics card GTX1070.
The build process for the custom debian / ubuntu livecd is executed on headless server nodes (livecd is created via debootstrap, chroot and squashfs).
I can start the installation process bit it breaks down after a while due to the issue that the build server does not have any nvidia graphics card installed.
Here the last few lines from the nvidia build log
-> done.
-> Kernel module compilation complete.
-> Unable to determine if Secure Boot is enabled: No such file or directory
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
Please see the log entries 'Kernel module load error' and 'Kernel messages' at the end of the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for more information.

ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Is there a way of enforcing installation without an installed card?
Thank you for your help.
