Public bug reported: [Summary]
nvidia-dkms-580-open fails to configure on an OEM 6.17 kernel because DKMS attempts to locally build the NVIDIA 580 open kernel module for 6.17.0-1033-oem. However, the system already has the corresponding prebuilt NVIDIA kernel module packages installed: linux-modules-nvidia-580-open-6.17.0-1033-oem [Impact] The system is left in kernel panic because nvidia-dkms-580-open fails during post-installation/configuration.
