Description José Expósito 2025-07-02 07:55:48 UTC
The Nouveau kernel driver fails to load due to missing firmware.

After enabling the debug output:

    $ sudo cat /sys/module/nouveau/parameters/debug 
    debug

This is the error:

    $ sudo dmesg | grep nouveau
    [    2.001276] nouveau 0000:24:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)
    [    2.001374] nouveau 0000:24:00.0: NVIDIA AD107 (197000a1)
    [    2.001435] nouveau 0000:24:00.0: gsp: firmware "nvidia/ad107/gsp/gsp-535.113.01.bin" unavailable
    [    2.001438] nouveau 0000:24:00.0: gsp ctor failed: -2
    [    2.001442] nouveau 0000:24:00.0: probe with driver nouveau failed with error -2

As the error points out, that firmware is not present. Instead, I have this directory: "/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107.rpmmoved".

@pbrobinson could it be a side effect of:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/linux-firmware/c/1f8fe19ec3e2fdc775ff11886671cdb71264ba54

Hardware: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

Similar to this issue, but since I use Fedora 42, I created a new one:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2375308

Reproducible: Always

Hey Peter,

The need info is your commit linked in the bug report description:

I think it can be creating the issue.
