After loading the SFS did you run depmod -a

The kernel changed between fatdog64 802 and 810.
I wonder if that makes a difference in nvidia drivers.
I can get fatdog64 802 to load nvidia driver.

Odd thing ---> Same name of SFS is located in 800 branch of fatdog64 https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/sfs/800/nvidia-418.43-k4.19.24_32_44_92.sfs compare to https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/sfs/810/nvidia-418.43-k4.19.24_32_44_92.sfs ______________________________________________
