Hi @DeepikaKrishnaiah the NVIDIA CUDA driver is required to enable GPUs in containers, but is out of scope for nvidia-docker or any of the components of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. If this issue is only related to getting the drivers installed (for which there seems to be workarounds), then please consider closing this issue.

If this issue is related to the installation of the components of the NVIDIA container stack (e.g. nvidia-docker2 or nvidia-container-toolkit), then please provide more information here.

For others coming here in present day on RHEL8 derivatives other than CentOS8, you just need to override the $distribution variable to be "centos8" (sub version does not matter) when running the "setup the package repository and GPG key" step from the official documentation.

This worked for me on RockyLinux 8.7.

Closing as resolved. Please see the updated installation documentation. And open an issue against https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit if problems persist.
