Hi all! I've begun the unimaginably painful journey of attempting to implement NVIDIA grid on my Proxmox 8 homelab, so I can split my Tesla P40's 24GB of Memory among 3 of my Virtual Machines (8GB per VM). However, after following the guidance of CraftComputing and the official Proxmox vGPU documentation, I have run into a problem with installing the NVIDIA drivers onto my hardware. I have downloaded version 16.5 of NVIDIA's vGPU driver package (535.161.05 for Linux KVM), brought it over to Proxmox, and attempted to run it as root after making it executable. However, I am greeted with 'ERROR: An error occurred while performing the step: "Building kernel modules" See /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for details' after the initial progress bar reaches 97%. I have done everything from fresh reboots to retracing my hardware and software prerequisites and am completely stumped on how to move forward. I'm hoping this is an easy fix, so I can get back up and running. However, I haven't easily seen any troubleshooting tips or guides that call out this issue. Does anyone have any pointers? I attached my nvidia-installer.log for context.
