This looks wrong, where is the kernel module initrd? |

Also, as previously mentioned in Matrix I'd rather we only do the firmware for the -beta driver at first. @Staudey can always merge in the changes to the other drivers later. |
It isn't there if you look at the old kernel 😓
I just updated the already existing files. Why do the others exist if that's the case? |

…kernel/initrd.d **Summary** Change the location from which freestanding initrd files are loaded to `/usr/lib64/kernel/initrd.d`. See `man clr-boot-manager` for details.
**Summary** Install the common initrd to the freestanding initrd directory that is used by clr-boot-manager.
**Summary** Disable the generation of the common initrd until tested in the beta driver.

**Usual Changes** - Bumped linux-current and linux-lts to v6.9.10 and v6.6.41 respectively - Update BORE CPU scheduler on linux-current to v5.2.4 **Init changes** - Remove previous implementation based on hacky symlinks - Add additional firmware paths to the kernel firmware scanning code to allow us to simply put the firmware files in additional top-level initrd directories and have them picked up correctly - Add a depmod.conf file which adds `/dracut-nvidia` to the kernel module search path, ordered above the existing search path. This file is only present in the initrd. - In combination with 5e0619c add a `/.dracut-depmod-invalidate` file to the nvidia kernel module initrds. If this file is present a one-shot service will run before systemd does udev/kmod things which will run `depmod` in the initrd generating a new index. This solves the issue of the initrd not being aware that new kernel modules are present. - Go through the nvidia modules and adapt them to the new changes - Temporarily move the nvidia-glx-driver linux-current initrd to a temporary subpackage due to user reports of issues with the 6.9 kernel - Disable firmware initrd generation for nvidia drivers < v555.x. (See #3257)

Summary
Change the location from which freestanding initrd files are loaded to
/usr/lib64/kernel/initrd.dand install the common initrd files shipped in the nvidia driver packages to that directory. Seeman clr-boot-managerfor details on freestanding initrds.Test Plan
Install nvidia package and verify that the initrd is installed:
