Hi Shane,

It looks like you might be having trouble loading the nvidia module because nouveau is already loaded. Unfortunately, blacklisting modules isn’t supported on balenaOS, but you should be able to unload nouveau before loading the nvidia module.

See [this](https://forums.balena.io/t/blacklist-drivers-in-host-os/163437/25) thread for information on how to go about that.

Let me know if this helps.
