Thanks for you nice work When i upgrade the kernel 5.13.18 and i can not use nvidia-smi ,it shows

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

i use "sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.86" and it shows

Thank you very much

Yeah thats plausible. Most of the install scripts check for the specific kernel version and only support a small set of specific kernels (most likely with special handling for some kernels). Of course the script has no idea what to do with this very special kernel.

Other question: Why would you ever want to install this kernel if you have an NVIDIA GPU? This kernel is a very dedicated kernel for AMD GPUs and I would not recommend to use it for NVIDIA GPUs.
