Ensure that the HyperV keyboard driver is available in the early
stages of the boot process. This allows the user to enter a disk
encryption passphrase or repair a boot problem in an interactive
shell.
The result of repo.index.add() contains the list of files that
have been added, even though they may be unchanged since the
latest commit. We only commit if at least one file has changed.
Take the last kernel version listed in sha256sums.asc when
multiple versions are listed.
We assume that the patches listed in sha256sums.asc are ordered by
increasing version number.
Ignore the sanity check that prevents the Nvidia drivers from
being built for kernels with real-time patches.
Even though the driver might not be officially supported by
Nvidia for linux-rt, it seems to work without issues.
Attempting to install the driver for linux-rt fails with the
following error message:
The kernel you are installing for is a PREEMPT_RT kernel!
The NVIDIA driver does not support real-time kernels. If you
are using a stock distribution kernel, please install
a variant of this kernel that does not have the PREEMPT_RT
patch set applied; if this is a custom kernel, please
install a standard Linux kernel. Then try installing the
NVIDIA kernel module again.
*** Failed PREEMPT_RT sanity check. Bailing out! ***
