NVIDIA – 415.18 Released – Fixes PM Problem, but Still Fails with Kernel 4.20
NVIDIA driver 415.18 is out, and details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/140282/en-us
The good news, is that it fixes the problem with kernel power-management (PM), which is no longer required for the driver to compile/load.:

There is still no solution for Kernel 4.20, and there has been no response to details posted to the NVIDIA forum some time ago..

Please try this patch https://ptpb.pw/xg4x
It removes the test for atomic64_inc from atomic64_type test in config.sh which will allow the test to pass.
Many thanks for this. I have applied it to 415.18, on Kernel 4.20-rc3, and everything seems to work OK..
