How to unload kernel module ‘nvidia-drm’?
I’m trying to install the most up-to-date NVIDIA driver in Debian Stretch. I’ve downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.48.run from here, but when I try to do

Who’s consuming my inotify resources?
After a recent upgrade to Fedora 15, I’m finding that a number of tools are failing with errors along the lines of:
What does a kernel source tree contain? Is this related to Linux kernel headers?
In books, I typically read references to the Linux Source Tree at /usr/src/linux with the usual set of subdirectories (arch, block, crypto, …).
How does a kernel mount the root partition?
My question is with regards to booting a Linux system from a separate /boot partition. If most configuration files are located on a separate / partition, how does the kernel correctly mount it at boot time?
What is the difference between the following kernel Makefile terms: vmLinux, vmlinuz, vmlinux.bin, zimage & bzimage?
While browsing through the Kernel Makefiles, I found these terms. So I would like to know what is the difference between vmlinux, vmlinuz, vmlinux.bin, zimage & bzimage?
How can I reserve a block of memory from the Linux kernel?
I have a device that needs a block of memory that is reserved solely for it, without the OS intervening. Is there any way to tell BIOS or the OS that a block of memory is reserved, and it must not use it?
yum installs kernel-devel different from my kernel version
I am attempting to install the VMWare player in Fedora 19. I am running into the problem that multiple users have had where VMware player cannot find the kernel headers. I have installed the kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages through yum and the file that appears in /usr/src/kernels is:
Determining cause of Linux kernel panic
I’m running an Ubuntu 12.04 derivative (amd64) and I’ve been having really strange issues recently. Out of the blue, seemingly, X will freeze completely for a while (1-3 minutes?) and then the system will reboot. This system is overclocked, but very stable as verified in Windows, which leads me to believe I’m having a kernel panic or an issue with one of my modules. Even in Linux, I can run LINPACK and won’t see a crash despite putting ridiculous load on the CPU. Crashes seem to happen at random times, even when the machine is sitting idle.
How can same fd in different processes point to the same file?
Say I have process 1 and process 2. Both have a file descriptor corresponding to the integer 4.
