Then yes, because I just changed the service file to run a script which would grab all of the installed kernels and pass them to akmods. Then no, because it can only build kernel modules for kernels that have the appropriate kernel-devel package installed, but currently unlike the kernel itself, only one kernel-devel package is typically installed at one time. :) Could you follow all that? So basically once I build new packages, the shutdown script will attempt to build modules for every kernel-devel package installed, whether it be the latest or not (though it typically should be). Ok, now that that's covered I have a crazy idea... For systemd service type "oneshot" which the akmod service is, you can have multiple ExecStart= directives. Why couldn't we have two, something like: [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=true ExecStart=/usr/sbin/akmods --from-init ExecStart=-/usr/sbin/modprobe nvidia Anything know why that wouldn't work? That should fix the problem with building modules on startup. Thanks, Richard
