driver 575.51.03 crashes almost immediately

NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version

575.51.03

Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.

• I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.

Operating System and Version

Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)

Kernel Release

Linux winston 6.14.4-200.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Apr 25 15:45:16 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.

• I am running on a stable kernel release.

Hardware: GPU

GPU 0: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU (UUID: GPU-0946ec38-a612-7b0e-8df3-0e64fe5b111e)

Describe the bug

Kernel driver crashes almost immediately, with nvidia-smi -q -x reporting "GPU requires reset" in most fields.

nvidia-smi -r reports Resetting GPU 00000000:01:00.0 is not supported.

Here is my kernel log (I grepped for lines containing nv, so there is some collateral damage included):

To Reproduce

Happens immediately after logging into my desktop (perhaps earlier, hard to verify).

I am not running my desktop on the Nvidia GPU, instead the card is mostly used for offloading graphics & compute.

I am polling nvidia-smi about once a minute in a task bar widget to display core, memory and power usage information, which could be related to the problem.

More Info

No response

Start with nv_ok_crash.txt and nvidia-bug-report.log.gz, then review the reported nvidia-smi -q -x and nvidia-smi -r results. Reproduce after desktop login with the task-bar polling enabled and compare behavior when polling is absent. Done means identifying the crash cause and preventing it for the reported RTX A5000 setup.
