Kernel 4.10.1-1 and 340.102 driver. ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'

Hello! I patched 340.102 with From ca8b106738521823707f3567cedb41ca158792a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001From: Al - Pastebin.com this patch. Now driver is compiled successfully, but after compiling there are some errors:

9949 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 t     hat 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 g     raphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.

Why driver nvidia is already registered?

You also need to patch for 4.9 kernel

https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/nvidia-340xx-kmod.git/tree/4.9.0_kernel.patch

nope. the same error

Make sure nomodeset is in your /etc/default/grub at the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT options

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

to update your grub, and reboot.

Also need to add nv_unregister_procfs in kernel/nv.c

right after line 1041:

pci_unregister_driver(&nv_pci_driver);

nv_unregister_procfs();

failed5:
rm_shutdown_rm(sp);

==================================
Save it and build again, you need both patches 4.9 & 4.10 applied too.

This worked succesful for me using (last updated) OpenSuSE Tumbleweed 20170303 kernel 4.10.1-1-default x86_64

Thank you! It works! I also using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and you saved my day!

Hello Tumbleweed Folks,

Would you be kind to give full “how to” with patch links (downloadable) and numbered steps
for making the 340.102 work for kernel 4.10 (64 bit)?

Thanks in advance!!!

What is the patch you used?
Link is dead

Hello, please tell details in us how install your property driver nvidia-340.102 on kali linux 2017.1.

i am having similar issue in RHEL7.6 Kernel version is 3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64

i have Tesla v100 GPU cards assigned to vmware vm via passthrough, able to see the PCI in operating system

[root@server ~]# lspci | grep -i nvidia

have disabled the nouveau and re-created initramfs as well.
