Hi,

</I>><i> /usr/sbin/dkms --rpm_safe_upgrade add -m %{drivername} -v

</I>><i> %{version}-%{release} &&
</I>><i> /usr/sbin/dkms --rpm_safe_upgrade install -m %{drivername} -v
</I>><i> %{version}-%{release} --force
</I>><i>
</I>><i> # rmmod any old driver if present and not in use (e.g. by X)
</I>><i> rmmod nvidia > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
</I>><i>
</I>><i> this makes that after running dkms install the module is removed, this
</I>><i> loosing the purpose of isntalling this dkms package, see the output:
</I>
The purpose is to unload the previous version of the module in case we
are not already in X.

That's an interesting issue, can you provide the output of 'dmesg' after
that?
><i> Is possible that someone can remove that "rmmod" command from the %post section?
</I>
I don't understand (yet) how the issue you are seeing is related to the
'rmmod' command.
