[elrepo] Nvidia drivers for Rocky Linux 9.1

[Cleveland, Stephen Eugene]

I asked Phil to provide nvidia-detect as other solutions (rpmfusion or nvidia provided repo) expect you to know which driver you need.  That does not work when trying to manage a fleet of machines.  He quickly obliged.

I've been using akmods from rpmfusion.  I can't give a full review yet as we just started deployments. While not as convenient as elrepo, it is working for us.

The one snag I ran into so far is I can't install the akmods stuff during a kickstart install, or it crashes hard on first boot.  I had to implement a script that runs on first boot to install akmods, compile the nvidia driver and then reboot again.  We'll see how things go when I do the first round of updates.

Hi Fred,

We have no plans to provide nvidia drivers for el9 at present.

There was a small discussion here:

https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1245<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Felrepo.org%2Fbugs%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D1245&data=05%7C01%7CSteve.Cleveland%40oregonstate.edu%7C16c9ce2debcd48bf16b608db20a165b6%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638139649794591120%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XUwqBRf8huaI%2FrLwAvVsblb14iuwlwVjCr%2FBO7fgguI%3D&reserved=0>

I've already added my +1 to that bug entry. If others on this list would like the Nvidia drivers in ELrepo 9, I urge you to add your request there as well.

For us, this is a major reason why we haven't even looked at Rocky 9 yet. It will be a big deal for us to switch away from installing the drivers via this repository for all our machines.
