Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
Quick googling suggested rebooting, but that didn’t do the trick. Switching kernels (from my main lts to current used as backup) also did nothing.
Kinda strange because I didn’t recall yay throwing any errors during update
Would highly appreciate any ideas regarding potential source of the problem / fix.
@dalto, I’d shake your hand if I could
Can you please clarify: is manual rebuilding of images when updating drivers through yay generally a must step? Or such things are handled automatically and that was just some random bug?
Thanks for the input! Turned out I didn’t have nvidia-hook at all. Probably because when I was installing EOS, I chose non Nvidia option since I already knew that I needed legacy driver.
I’m happy to test and report back but first one question (sorry if dumb): do I have to uninstall nvidia-470x-dkms before installing it again or simply installing “over” is totally fine?

No worries. I should also pay more attention to the output messages
Can confirm: during the reinstall process, dracut did its job, I rebooted machine and everything works as it should.
Thanks for the great work and prompt fixes/updates!
