Hi I had similar erors when installing the new kernel and then the new kernel did not boot to the graphics. Even the ctrl-alt-F2 to get a terminal did not work. I had to reboot with adding a 3 to the end of the grub linux line, to get a terminal (without graphics). Then I ran the latest nvidia driver installer downloaded from the nvidia site. Then a normal reboot and it worked. cheers mathy ________________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces at centos.org> on behalf of Ralf Aumüller <Ralf.Aumueller at informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 10:30 To: centos at centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Update to Centos 7.7 / Arch ppc64le / Problem with nvidia driver Hello, today I updated a CentOS 7.6 ppc64le machine to CentOS 7.7. After reboot to the new kernel (4.18.0-80.7.2.el7.ppc64le) dkms could not build the nvidia-module. Error-message from dkms: Compiler version check failed: The major and minor number of the compiler used to compile the kernel: gcc version 8.3.1 20190311 (Red Hat 8.3.1-3) (GCC) does not match the compiler used here: cc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39) Output of /proc/version with new kernel running is: Linux version 4.18.0-80.7.2.el7.ppc64le (mockbuild at ppc64le-01.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 8.3.1 20190311 (Red Hat 8.3.1-3) (GCC)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 12 15:45:05 UTC 2019 Problem seams to be: The kernel was compiled with gcc-version 8.3.1 and installed is gcc 4.8.5.
