7.0.5-1-cachyos, nvidia-open-dkms 595.71.05 fails to build

Dekol · May 8, 2026, 11:47pm

After the last update, nvidia-open-dkms fails to build against the latest kernel. It works for the LTS one.

$ sudo dkms autoinstall -k 7.0.5-1-cachyos

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 7.0.5-1-cachyos (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/595.71.05/build/make.log for more information.

Autoinstall on 7.0.5-1-cachyos succeeded for module(s) gigabyte-laptop-wmi vboxhost.
Autoinstall on 7.0.5-1-cachyos failed for module(s) nvidia(10).

Error! One or more modules failed to install during autoinstall.
Refer to previous errors for more information.

In the make.log I can see

My current solution is using the LTS kernel.

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 12:20am

had the same issue, had to downgrade my kernel and header to 7.0.3-1

also had to downgrade the llvm too. seems to be compilor issue.

this was the error I faced :

Trying this solution right now. I’m in 580xx and had the same problem as OP.

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 1:38am

Seems like a problem with the llvm update specifically, coz just downgrading kernel didn’t fix it

SoldatoFiero · May 9, 2026, 1:39am

Same here with 580xx and I’m on LTS, I used a similar solution:

sudo pacman -U \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-22.1.3-2-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lld-22.1.3-1.1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/compiler-rt-22.1.3-1.1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-22.1.3-2-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-580xx-dkms-580.159.03-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-lts-6.18.26-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-lts-headers-6.18.26-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-7.0.3-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-headers-7.0.3-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst

and it worked dkms installed the drivers correctly.

WMH · May 9, 2026, 1:44am

Hello there!

We just need to execute sudo pacman -U into the terminal for the fix to take effect?

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 1:45am

remove the broken open-dkms drivers and reinstall them

WMH · May 9, 2026, 1:47am

I’m a recent user of Linux with a long road ahead.

How do we do that?

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 1:48am

  sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/nvidia

  sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms

check with which version of driver you need tho

Thank you, friend but I guess it did not work. The make.log is massive, 2.6MB and has tons of errors.

(4/4) Checking which packages need to be rebuilt

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 2:09am

it says it is trying to build it for 7.0.5-1

can you make sure you are on 7.0.3? try uname -r

WMH · May 9, 2026, 2:11am

I’m on

❯ uname -r
7.0.5-1-cachyos

How do I revert it to 7.0.3?

It tried to build it to 7.0.5 and failed, then it tried to build it to 7.0.3 and failed too.

First check whether the old kernel packages are still in your pacman cache.

Run:

ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "linux-cachyos-7.0.3"

and:

ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "linux-cachyos-headers-7.0.3"

also check if the old LLVM packages are still cached:

ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "llvm-22.1.3"
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "lld-22.1.3"
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "compiler-rt-22.1.3"
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep "llvm-libs-22.1.3"

if all of them exist :

sudo pacman -U \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-7.0.3-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-cachyos-headers-7.0.3-1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst\
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-22.1.3-2-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lld-22.1.3-1.1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/compiler-rt-22.1.3-1.1-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-22.1.3-2-x86_64_v3.pkg.tar.zst

make sure the versions match the ones you have in your cache.

after that do :

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/nvidia
sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms

Tarek_Said · May 9, 2026, 2:28am

Thanks @SoumyaRoy311000, that solved my issue!

This also works for those on the older nvidia-580xx-open-dkms, follow the solution above and just replace nvidia-open-dkms with nvidia-580xx-open-dkms.

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 2:29am

Happy to hear it worked for you!

WMH · May 9, 2026, 2:34am

Thank you, my friend! It worked!

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 2:34am

@WMH Great to hear!

birdstream · May 9, 2026, 3:10am

The same thing applies to bcachefs-dkms aswell. I landed in emergency shell at boot (both mainline and lts kernel) I had to build a custom cachyos live iso with bcachefs support to be able to chroot into my system in the first place. My approach from there was a bit different, i just did sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers and boot from the regular arch kernel (which is still 7.0.3)

SoumyaRoy311000 · May 9, 2026, 3:13am

after going through the logs, and other people’s input on the issue on various forums,
I think it’s mainly the new lld version that fails, causing problems building modules. Hope they fix it soon.

bearfnf · May 9, 2026, 3:37am

I just used a snapshot to roll back to before the updates. I will wait for them to sort it out before trying to update again.
