NVIDIA GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile] driver: N/A

Add ibt=off kernel parameter.

Nvidia GPU users: Watch out for kernel 5.18 update

Linux kernel 5.18 has hit the Arch repos but they currently introduce problems with a combination of Nvidia kernel modules and specific CPUs. (intel 11 and 12 gen, possibly newer AMD CPUs as well) Nvidia drivers fail to load in this condition. In my case my PC fell back to Intel iGPU, the PSA on Reddit warns about kernel panics, your mileage may vary. The solution is packaging from source here and blocking nvidia-open-dkms driver updates to use ibt=off kernel parameter or not updating to kernel…

@giordis

drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/1920x1080.bin

Is this kernel parameter really needed and correct?
I’m just wondering, I don’t mean it’s not needed.

[giordis]

No, no necessary at all. It was a first attempt to fix the problem

[giordis]

it didn't work,

[giordis]

I've already read but didn't help

[mrvictory]

Send your new inxi. If you edited /etc/default/grub, you need to run update-grub afterwards.

[giordis]

Now i managed to reinstall all nvidia drivers but now works only the second monitor. The built-in laptop monitor shows me boot log.
