r294070: KLD nvidia-modeset.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch linker_load_file: Unsupported file type

[O. Hartmann]

On FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1 r294070: Fri Jan 15 06:21:20 CET 2016 amd64,
loading nvidia kernel module results in the error:

KLD nvidia-modeset.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version
mismatch linker_load_file: Unsupported file type

This worked prior to r294070

Regards,

Oliver

My most recent build of head was at r294086; I didn't see a problem with
nvidia -- but I have 'PORTS_MODULES=x11/nvidia-driver' in /etc/src.conf,
so it's rebuilt every time I rebuild the kernel.

Have you rebuilt nvidia-driver recently?

Peace,
david

This is as a consequence of the following change. You need to rebuild
all modules to match the kernel:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r294086 | hselasky | 2016-01-15 06:18:58 -0500 (Fri, 15 Jan 2016) | 7 lines
Changed paths:
M /head/sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/include/linux/pci.h
M /head/sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/src/linux_pci.c
M /head/sys/sys/param.h

Implement support for PCI suspend, resume and shutdown events in the
LinuxKPI. Fix a few spaces to tabs. Bump the FreeBSD version to force
recompilation of existing KMODs.

Sorry - I take that back - that change was later than the SVN you're
noting. I'd still try a rebuild though and look for any undefined symbols ..

Or build it without Linux support.

Mine was built on October 17, 2015 and I'm running r294095 without
a problem.

I have this tag also, as you know, in my /etc/src.conf. But: I do buildworld and
especially buildkernel with flag -DNO_CLEAN".

After I did a "make kernel" (in /usr/src) the proplem went away! I guess this has to do
with the fact that I played with different versions of nvidia's driver (355.11 - 361.18
with a new buildframework proposed at PR 201340
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201340).

Yes, indeed, many, many times that day ;-)

I imply - regarding my previous answer - that -DNO_CLEAN flag while building kernel will
not do. As I wrote, I rebuild the kernel with "make kernel" and the module could be
loaded again.

But I see for now, that the Linuxulator modules are loaded - idenependent of disabling
Linux in the configuration of x11/nvidia-driver (I use the proposal from PR 201340, found
here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201340).

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

I did build without Linux, but Linuxulator gets loaded now with the new driver for
nVidia boards (nividia-modeset.ko) automatically when loaded :-(

I might be wrong, sinde I also load VBox modules, but I havn't had this issue before.

Using proposal x11/nvidia-driver PR 201340.

Well, do you really need nvidia-modeset? It isn't a prerequisite for
installing the driver. And my Linuxulator starts fine without it.
I would simply delete it.

I need the new module since nVidia claims having put a lot of logic there. Without
loading it, the screen remains black, block cursor available, no graphics, but switching
console remains functional. Loading nvidia.ko only leads to that behaviour,
nvidia-modeset.ko reels in nvidia.ko and everything is fine again. As I refered to
PR 201340.

CURRENT clainms to have a new 64bit capable Linuxulator, but it should reveal itself as
linux64.ko - as I extracted from several posts. I persoanly do not need Linux ontop of
FreeBSD, neither 32bit nor 64bit, I have my Linux servers and desktops were FreeBSD isn't
capable or to clumsy (mostly moderate or modern graphical devices and scientific GPGPU
issues). So, I'd like to get rid of the linuxulator kernel module.
