Two compounding issues prevented the GPU driver from installing after the k8s-node1 kernel rollback to 6.8.0-117-generic (Ubuntu 24.04): 1. **Deadlock**: The k8s-driver-manager init container was stuck waiting for nvidia-operator-validator to shut down. The validator's driver-validation init container was in an infinite poll loop checking for /run/nvidia/validations/.driver-ctr-ready (which only appears after a successful driver install). The validator pod had deletionTimestamp set but its container remained in Terminating state indefinitely. Fix: force-delete the stuck Terminating validator pod to break the deadlock (kubectl delete --force --grace-period=0). 2. **Startup probe timeout**: Full driver install on this hardware (apt headers ~2min + gcc make -j16 ~12min + file copy ~7min = ~21min) exactly exhausted the default 120×10s=20min startup probe window, causing SIGKILL (exit 137) at exactly 21 minutes even when the install was succeeding. Extended failureThreshold 120→300 (50min headroom). Documented both root causes + recovery steps in the post-mortem. values.yaml: add driver.startupProbe.failureThreshold: 300. Note: the kubectl patch applied during recovery is a temporary fix; this TF values.yaml change makes it durable via the next TF apply. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
