[Bug 2068840] Re: No drm.ko.zst in noble (ubuntu24.04) /linux-modules-6.8.0

So, the module is now built into the kernel image itself, and not
shipped separately. You should still be able to use all of its features.

All the Nvidia drivers shipped in the Ubuntu repositories should be
compatible with this change.


So , does it mean we do not need to load the drm module( using modeprobe drm or insmod ) explicitly in amd64 ubuntu24?

We are getting below error while installing NVIDIA driver

System Info
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04


Unable to see the drm.ko or drm.ko.zst module in noble ( ubuntu 24.04 ) linux-modules-6.8.0 amd64 onward
drm module is required to install NVIDIA GPU driver on Ubuntu24.

We see only below modules:

For linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic amd64 https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic/filelist
drm_ttm_helper.ko.zst
drm_vram_helper.ko.zst

For linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-35-generic - amd64
drm_buddy.ko.zst
drm_dma_helper.ko.zst
drm_exec.ko.zst
drm_gpuvm.ko.zst
drm_mipi_dbi.ko.zst
drm_suballoc_helper.ko.zst
drm_ttm_helper.ko.zst
drm_vram_helper.ko.zst

What it the alternative module for drm.ko/drm.ko.zst ?

However, we can see drm.ko.zst for s390x here https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/s390x/linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic/filelist
