More on the Kernel 4.14.9 NVIDIA breakage..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Basically, code that should have only gone into 4.15-rc found its way into 4.14.9 – which is why the existing 4.15 NVIDIA patch fixed it..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to dinosaur_<\/em><\/strong> on the NVIDIA forum, there is a simpler patch available:\u00a0 https:\/\/devtalk.nvidia.com\/default\/topic\/1028016\/linux\/patch-for-compiling-v384-98-modules-with-linux-v4-14-9-\/<\/a><\/p>\n

There is also a 4.14.10-rc1 patch which is supposed to revert some of the offending changes, at https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/kernel\/v4.x\/stable-review\/patch-4.1.10-rc1.xz<\/a> but this is not<\/span> recommended, for the simple reasons that a) it fails (..<\/span><\/strong>make[2]: execvp: .\/sync-check.sh: Permission denied<\/span><\/strong> ) <\/i>and even when this is fixed (make sync-check.sh<\/span><\/strong> executable..), then b) the resulting kernel ‘4.14.10-rc1’ does not fix the NVIDIA problem!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Apparently the changes were actually supposed to be applied via git<\/strong>:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.spinics.net\/lists\/stable\/msg207374.html<\/a>
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

Bottom line…\u00a0 If you really<\/span> want a feature\/fix only available in 4.14.9, then use the NVIDIA patch, or wait a short time for 4.14.10 (and keep your fingers crossed that it will actually fix the problem, this time..)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have tested the simple NVIDIA patch, and the 384.98<\/strong> driver compile\/load now works OK:<\/p>\n
