NVIDIA – New Driver Supports Kernel 6.19.. No Hacks Necessary..
NVIDIA have just release driver version 590.48.01, and details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/259042/
This compiles/loads/runs successfully with Kernel 6.19 (tested with 6.19-RC1):

As with the previous kernel-open hack, this only supports the newer RTX-type cards, and hopefully there will be an equivalent update for the 580.xx drivers soon, for GTX support..

Thank you Robert!
For those interested…
I’ve created a patch for 590.44.01 (the previous beta version) & 6.19 here:
https://github.com/babiulep/my-kernel-patches/tree/main/NVIDIA/6.19
I’ve used the (working) 590.48.01 source code to create this patch.
(But you can also install (or wait) for the 590.48.01 version)
590.48.01 Ubuntu 25.10
nvidia-uvm/uvm_hmm.c:2143:9: error: too few arguments to function ‘zone_device_page_init’; expected 2, have 1
nvidia-uvm/uvm_pmm_gpu.c:3305:6: error: ‘const struct dev_pagemap_ops’ has no member named ‘page_free’
in make.log
This compiles/loads/runs failed with Kernel 6.19 (tested with 6.19-RC2):
maybe some wrong kernel config?
best regards
I’m having the same issue. I’m compiling the kernel with PREEMPT + 1000Hz on Ubuntu 25.10.
