Description#

NVIDIA vGPU software does not support the use of the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution with the Ubuntu 24.04 hardware enablement (HWE) kernel (kernel version 6.8.<x>). If Ubuntu 22.04 is used with an upgraded HWE kernel, any attempt to create an mdev device file fails.

Workaround#

  • If you want to use the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution, downgrade the HWE kernel to the Ubuntu 22.04 HWE kernel.

  • If you want to use the Ubuntu 24.04 HWE kernel, upgrade to the Ubuntu 24.04 distribution.

Status#
