Bug#735630: Some more hacks are needed to make it work

[Maurizio Avogadro]

Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 331.38-1
Tags: patch



It seems the above patch is not enough here:

[  272.782042] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics
[  274.848066] vgaarb: device changed decodes:
PCI:0000:01:00.0,olddecodes=none,decodes=none:owns=none
[  274.848193] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  331.38 
Wed Jan  8 19:32:30 PST 2014
[  275.651904] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: irq 57 for MSI/MSI-X
[  275.662954] NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
[  275.666649] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:720)
[  275.666660] NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed for device bearing minor
number 0
[  275.666687] NVRM: nvidia_frontend_open: minor 0, module->open()
failed, error -5

The issue seems caused by the removal of the DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE macro
[1]. The attached patch seems to solve the above issue in my case.

Thanks


Maurizio
