Thank you @vnctdj! I'll give it a shot as soon as the 6.8 kernel comes out. If all future kernel updates go as well as the past 2 -- my stress level over kernel updates for this driver can drop a notch or two. Thank you again for the effort.
(NOTE: patch and rebuild works fine. Just add the patch under the kernel-6.6.patch add the b2sum to the list (don't forget to bump the pkgrel) and makepkg -Cs)
It works for 6.8.0-rc7-1-mainline. Thanks for your effort.
I've just added a patch for the 6.8 kernel inspired by the following patch by Joan Bruguera: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/24f4d4f4ec69f0c37038a6cc9d132b43
I hope it will works when 6.8 will release!
It's that time again...
Torvalds announced no need for an rc-8, so the 6.8 kernel will be released next week and will show up on Arch shortly thereafter. Anybody have any idea on what, if any, patch will be needed for 6.8?
Thank Goodness! I saw 6.6 go into testing as LTS and just saw 6.7 in core-testing and had that sinking feeling again.... But if no changes are required, then the kernel module Gods have smiled upon us!
My system is working fine with kernel 6.7.0-1-ck-generic-v2. It seems kernel 6.7 does not require any additional patch.
lines with DEST_MODULE_LOCATION inside /usr/src/nvidia-390.157/dkms.conf can be removed cause they are ignored and dkms overrides it with its own hardcoded location (/updates/dkms). proof: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73204
Great job. Both versions of the patch posted were identical in changes. Yours to paste.opensuse.org and the one posted by @Wargoth. I'll grab your PKGBUILD and compare. All I did was create the kernel-6.6.patch file and add it to prepare() just below the kernel-6.5.patch and bumbed the $pkgrel by 1. Generated the b2sums, updated the PKGBUILD with the new sums, built and then installed the new nvidia-390xx-dkms, nvidia-390xx-utils and opencl-nvidia-390xx (optional).
Then when the update with linux-6.6 hit, it was just a normal update -- just the way I like it.
I've just integrated canolucas' patch, thanks to him and to everyone who tested the patch!
@canolucas patch worked perfectly. Just did the linux-6.6.1 update, dkms built the module without complaint, on reboot, the display is up and running. Let's hope 6.7 is as tame. Great job!

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that
linux-headersshould not be a dependency of any DKMS package.As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when
linuxis not an installed kernel?
