I did an rpm -ql, and it's for an 862 kernel. Time to remove, and go to the proprietary (this server has two Tesla cards, and uses CUDA). mark

If you are using CUDA with Tesla cards go straight for the nVidia CUDA repo - it includes the necessary drivers. I presume you know where to look, but for completeness on the list the documentation is at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html P.

If you want to assert such ridiculous claims, please provide evidence to support them.

It has been built for the 7.6 kernels. You?ll need to replace the nvidia-x11-drivers package with one with the 390xx one too. -- Jonathan Billings
