Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update to latest nixos-24.05 input.
2. Try to build open nvidia driver
3. See it fail.

Build log

Here is a gist.

Additional context

Relevant configuration from my Flake:

hardware = {
  nvidia = {
    modesetting = enabled;
    powerManagement = {
      enable = false;
      finegrained = false;
    };
    open = true;
    nvidiaSettings = true;
    package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.latest;
  };
};

Same issue as https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/332350#issuecomment-2271777269

Essentially since the stable branches tends to have older drivers they become incompatible with the newest kernels. You can copy newer driver details from the unstable branch or downgrade the linux kernel version to fix it.

Maybe it means we need something like zfs.latestCompatibleLinuxPackages for nvidia. Or even some new construct that could allow specifying multiple latest compatible version and automatically use the most appropriate version.

I'm personally using both nvidia and zfs at the same time, so I would like my kernel to be the latest compatible with both.

Honestly part of the problem is bitrot, kernel updates get backported but the drivers that support those kernels don't. And generally I don't notice that the drivers become broken on stable until someone opens an issue about it.

Nvidia is generally quite good about keeping their supported drivers compatible with the latest kernels. What we really need is a way to handle driver backports without breaking the nvidia userspace when that update reaches stable users.

For me, it builds with boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_6;, but not with _6_11.
