Hi,

probably this is not related to nvidia modules only  and as far as I can see, the correction should be already be in the nvidia driver 390.138-4?

With kernel 5.8.0-1 and  5.8.0-2 my Laptop is not able to start X11 while using kernel 5.7.0-3 ist still working.
However on startup I see messages that many modules couldn't be loaded, not only the nvidia modules.

Here are some details:
