I did a yum update this morning on my server at work, it RHEL 7.8 and was running the previous latest kernel with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.82.run.

It is now running

Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 11 19:12:04 EDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-450.66.run and it failed with the following error in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

   Looking for install checker script at ./libglvnd_install_checker/check-libglvnd-install.sh
   executing: '/bin/sh ./libglvnd_install_checker/check-libglvnd-install.sh'...
   Internal error:


ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for
          details.  You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README
          available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

So I reinstalled 440.82 without problem, I don't really need the latest nvidia at the moment.

But where is the best place to report something like this (other than here) ? Along with if you know a fix to this...

for me the problem was in amdgpu driver packages
