Hello team,
by installing NVIDIA drivers as per the guideline of Debian on Debian 12, it shows an error as follows:
Building initial module for 6.1.0-21-amd64
readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/525.147.05/build/make.log for more information.
dpkg: error processing package nvidia-kernel-dkms (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nvidia-driver:
nvidia-driver depends on nvidia-kernel-dkms (= 525.147.05-7~deb12u1) | nvidia-kernel-525.147.05 | nvidia-open-kernel-525.147.05 | nvidia-open-kernel-525.147.05; however:
Package nvidia-kernel-dkms is not configured yet.
Package nvidia-kernel-525.147.05 is not installed.
Package nvidia-kernel-dkms which provides nvidia-kernel-525.147.05 is not configured yet.

I researched about it and I found this
post wherein a person explains how to troubleshoot by enabling verbose option on dkms. As a summary of my troubleshooting it hits the same issue. By checking out the file
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/525.147.05/build/make.log as initially the logs suggest, I found the following logs:
/bin/sh: 1: ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids: not found
make[3]: *** [/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-21-common/scripts/Makefile.modfinal:63: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/525.147.05/build/nvidia-peermem.ko] Error 127
make[3]: *** Deleting file '/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/525.147.05/build/nvidia-peermem.ko'
/bin/sh: 1: ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids: not found
The solution of the
post to this issue is to update the kernel from 6.1.0-13 -> 6.1.0.18; however, my kernel is a later version: 6.1.0-21-amd64, so I am stuck for solving this issue. Do you have any idea about what may be happening and/or how to solve it?
