Version: 390.157-16
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
driver builds and loads fine, but running nvidia-smi fails:
Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:06:00.0: The NVIDIA kernel module detected an issue with GPU interrupts. Consult the "Common Problems" Chapter of the NVIDIA Driver README for
details and steps that can be taken to resolve this issue.
dmesg shows:
NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 390.157
NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x45:1920)
NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed for device bearing minor number 0
adding pci=nosmi or disabling threaded interrupts does not help.
This card used to work fine on Ubuntu 22.04 with legacy Nvidia drivers.
