Research direction

Start by running the nvidia-gpu-tools command on the reported Debian 12 system and compare its output with the RTX 2000 Ada device ID 0x28b0. Trace the entry point that reports Unknown Nvidia device; done means these GPUs are recognized and no longer listed under Other, with suitable verification for the reported output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

I tried to run the tool against a server I have access to, containing several NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada. While the tool has no issue ith older GPU I tested against, it seems not to recognize this model. Would it be possible to add support for it? Or point me towards the relevant pieces of information adn code changes to make?

The current output: Debian 12 (bookworm)
