NVIDIA GPU Driver for GPU Operator with Rocky 10

Rocky Linux Help & Support
1

I have a Kubernetes cluster up on Rocky 10 but need to enable GPU support for the L40S GPUs in the servers. This results in the nvidia-driver-daemonset failing to pull a driver for the GPU. Is there a way to work around this and get the GPU driver installed?

I see no RHEL10 drivers out there anywhere to pull from. Not sure if a RHEL9 driver is expected to be OK in Rocky10?

Kustomize Version: v5.6.0
Server Version: v1.33.2
6.12.0-55.12.1.el10_0.x86_64
nvidia/gpu-operator --version=v25.3.1

I have the same issue. When can we expect the Rocky Linux 10 repositories to be available for nvidia? My linux desktop is pretty much a potato until that happens and I’ll be using Windows until then. I went with 10 because 9.6 failed spectacularly to install at all on my MSI motherboard with Ryzen 5600 CPU. So it is what it is. At least rocky 10 had the minimal graphics support install option which worked for me.

The drivers compiled for RHEL 9 are specifically for 9 and will not work on 10.

You will have to ask nvidia when they plan on providing drivers for RHEL 10 and derivatives.

Alternatively, see if rpmfusion gives you what you need.
