Summary0000597: nvidia package or procedure need to tweak
DescriptionHi:
   according to AlmaLinux nvidia document: https://wiki.almalinux.org/documentation/nvidia.html
you only need two lines to use nvidia card:
   dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver
   dnf install dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-cuda

reboot and now we can use "nvidia-smi" to check the card status.

I install a brand new AlmaLinux 10.1 with a telsa T4, after procedure above, the "nvidia-smi" is very slow, the card is stay at P0 27W state even the system is idle. and system show error message at boot:
[ 6.698324] NVRM: GPU0 nvAssertFailedNoLog: Assertion failed: !rmapiLockIsOwner() @ rmapi.c:563
[ 6.698361] NVRM: GPU0 nvAssertFailedNoLog: Assertion failed: !rmapiLockIsOwner() @ rmapi.c:563
[ 6.698416] NVRM: GPU0 nvAssertFailedNoLog: Assertion failed: !rmapiLockIsOwner() @ rmapi.c:563
[ 6.698434] NVRM: GPU0 nvAssertFailedNoLog: Assertion failed: !rmapiLockIsOwner() @ rmapi.c:563

the fix it is easy. just "dracut -v -f" and reboot then everything will be fine. but it took me whole day to find the reason.
below is the diff of "bad" and "good" initrdramfs:

Steps To Reproduceinstall a brand new AlamLinux 10.1 with nvidia telas gpu.
dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver
dnf install dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-cuda

reboot and run "nvidia-smi". nvidia-smi start very slow (more than 1 second) and power usage stay at P0 when idle.

sorry. I didn't copy the dnf install command correctly. it shoud be:

dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver
dnf install nvidia-open-kmod nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-cuda
