RTX 3060 Mobile not initializing — RmInitAdapter failed / GSP firmware load errors on Fedora 42 (kernel 6.17.4, driver 580.95.05)

Ask Fedora
1

I’m running Fedora 42 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (GA106M / Max-Q) GPU, and I’m unable to get the proprietary NVIDIA driver working on kernel 6.17.x.
The system boots to a black screen or fails to load the GPU with RmInitAdapter failed errors in dmesg.

What I have already tried
Removed and reinstalled all NVIDIA packages (akmod-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia, etc.)
Rebuilt kernel modules manually:
sudo akmods --force --kernels $(uname -r)
Verified firmware presence
Rebuilt initramfs and confirmed firmware inclusion

  • Tried disabling GSP firmware via:
  • /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf → options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
  • Kernel parameter nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
  • Booted with previous kernel 6.16.12-200.fc42.x86_64 (same issue)
  • Disabled fedora-nvidia repo, only kept rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver active.

Current behavior
The NVIDIA module loads partially but fails GSP initialization every time

nvidia-smi outputs No devices were found

The /sys/module/nvidia/parameters/NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware file does not exist.

Please show us the output of dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* and post that as preformatted text so it remains formatted exactly as seen on your screen. This is done by pasting the text, then highlight it and clidk the </> button on the toolbar of the text entry window.
This output will show us exactly what version as well as what repo the packages are installed from (and is sorted). The rpm info you provided shows the packages but not the source.

Also show us the output of dnf repolist so we can see the enabled repos for this.
Also of interest would be cat /proc/cmdline

A full removal of all nvidia packages is done easily with sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware

I have an RTX 3050 and am not using those kernel parameters. Please remove them from both the kernel command line and /etc/modprobe.d/ before continuing.

It is also quite possible that there is a hardware problem. You did not tell us what your system is (inxi -Fzxx would do that for us) but you did show mobile so I suspect it is a laptop.

Looking at that kernel command line I have a couple suggestions that likely will fix the issues.
Some of the parameters are not compatible with the newer drivers.

  1. Remove the old parameters
    sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args='modprobe.blacklist=nouveau rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nvidia_drm.modset=1'
  2. Add updated parameters
    sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core'
  3. reboot

You can put a specific kernel version in place of ALL if you only want the change to apply to one kernel version. The booted kernel could be updated by using $(uname -r)

I also suggest that you run modinfo -l nvidia after rebooting to see if it shows (as it should)

$ modinfo -l nvidia
Dual MIT/GPL

Having the driver loaded properly should also fix the problem in inxi about Monitor1 being Unknown-1 and more.

I updated the kernel parameters

 cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64 root=UUID=b359d009-13a2-448e-b5ac-3e9aa0bf9d44 ro rootflags=subvol=root rhgb quiet pcie_aspm=off modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core

output from modinfo -l nvidia

Dual MIT/GPL

but when I run nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi

Try disabling nvidia-persistenced.service. See https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/driver-persistence/index.html.

I disabled it

I also tried kernel version 6.16, but after booting, I don’t even have an image.

  1. Try if you can boot with the nouveau kernel driver instead of the nvidia driver.
    Interrupt boot process at the grub stage and edit kernel cmdline and delete
    rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core

I don’t see the iGPU listed in the inxi output. Maybe try to enable the iGPU in bios.

3,

This looks strange to me, because I would not expect TU102 (turing ) functions called on an Ampere GPU, but that’s implementation details.

AFAIK those drivers won’t work w/o the GSP.

Also try to power down the system, disconnect the AC adapter and remove / disable battery for a few minutes.
