…he preseed check environment The check container installed linux-image-arm64 and linux-headers-arm64 from the live trixie/trixie-security archives. Real installer targets never have trixie headers, and their presence makes DKMS build the pinned NVIDIA driver against whatever kernel trixie-security shipped that day - an unpinned moving target. This broke on 2026-07-31 when Debian published 6.12.100, which the 550.163.01 driver fails to compile against, failing the nvidia matrix cell. With no stray kernels the block under test provides its own pinned kernel and DKMS builds only against the pinned, snapshot-frozen headers. Verified: the failing cell reproduced against 6.12.100 headers, and the same block passes with them absent (module builds and installs for 6.18.15).
