Precompiled Driver Container for Linux Kernel other than 5.15 does not exist
In the page for Precompiled Driver Containers https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/gpu-operator/latest/precompiled-drivers.html#limitations-and-restrictions, the following limitations and restrictions are described.
Limitations and Restrictions
Support for deploying the driver containers with precompiled drivers is limited to hosts with the Ubuntu 22.04 operating system and x86_64 architecture.
Although no restrictions about Linux Kernel version are described, Precompiled Driver Container for Linux Kernel other than 5.15 does not exist in https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/driver/tags.
According to the following kernel release schedule in https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle, newer Linux Kernel version e.g. 6.8 is available for Ubuntu 22.04.
Precompiled Driver Container is useful since it avoids installing local package repository when installing GPU Operator in Air-Gapped environment. So, it is better if Precompiled Driver Container for newer Linux Kernel exists.
