Hi, I wanted bootable NVMe and Nvidia support, and I knew the 387.10.10.10.40.122 drivers worked OK on 10.13.6 so didn't think anything of applying the prerequisite Mojave firmware 140.0.0.0... then when I tried to install the drivers (using the nvidia-update script on github) it said that there... -
