Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems should prioritize this update?
Systems using the SUSE kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 package or nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed packages, including the default and Azure KMP variants, should assess and apply the update.
What changes if the update cannot be applied immediately?
The update prevents the driver from overwriting the NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus option setting by disabling that behavior. If patching is delayed, review whether this driver option is configured and account for the existing driver behavior.
How can I determine whether the update is installed?
Check the installed versions of kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 and nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed. The updated firmware and driver version identified in the advisory is 545.29.06.
