How do you know that? Are there any issues for this? |
Things broke when we updated. This might not be true for use with H100s in general, but at least for the CC case. Maybe @derpsteb knows more about the exact driver compatibilities. |

IIRC @derpsteb is on vacation for the next couple of weeks. I'm fine downgrading the version for now and delaying investigating whether or not/how we can upgrade.

The `production` nvidia driver in nixpkgs got updated to a version that's incompatible with H100s. This pins the nvidia driver to the specific version needed for H100s by using the upstream `mkDriver` abstraction that builds a driver compatible with the used kernel from exact driver sources.
