Research direction
Start by reproducing modprobe nvidia in the reported Debian 9 VM and inspect /lib/modules/5.10.25-nvidia-gpu/modules.builtin.bin, which the issue reports as zero bytes. Determine whether the installer or kernel-module setup leaves this file invalid; done means the NVIDIA module can be loaded without the reported lookup error.
