Daniel Han c463d58277 entrypoint.sh: correct driver-floor message (570+ unconditionally on cu128)
The earlier message had per-arch driver minimums (525/535/555/570) that
came from when each chip first got driver support. That's not how CUDA
toolkit floors work -- cu128 imposes 570.26+ on EVERY GPU regardless of
arch. Only B300 (sm_103) and DGX Spark (sm_121) need a newer driver
(580+), and they ship factory with those drivers anyway.

External HF README has the same correction applied in temp/hf_readme.md
(updated separately when published).

# Container startup checks for Unsloth.
#
# Fails fast with actionable error messages when the host GPU isn't reachable,
# instead of letting torch crash deep with cryptic CUDA errors. Catches the
# three failure modes that cover ~95% of "it doesn't work" tickets:
#
# 1. nvidia-smi inside the container can't see any GPU
# - User forgot --gpus all
# - Host missing nvidia-container-toolkit
# 2. nvidia-smi works but torch.cuda.is_available() is False
# - Host driver too old for CUDA 12.8
# 3. GPU attaches but is older than Ampere (sm < 80)
# - Unsloth requires sm_80+
#
# Bypass for offline tooling / docs / CI:
# docker run -e UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1 ...

# DGX Spark fix, arm64 image only: prefer the cu13 ptxas we baked into the
# image at /usr/local/cuda-13.0/bin/ptxas over Triton's bundled tools. The
# file only exists on the arm64 variant; amd64 images skip this and use
# Triton's own ptxas (cu13 in triton>=3.6.0).

Likely causes (in order of frequency):
1. You started the container without --gpus all.
Re-launch with:
docker run --gpus all <other-flags> unsloth/unsloth:latest <cmd>
Or use the bundled wrapper:
bash docker/run.sh <cmd>
2. Host is missing nvidia-container-toolkit.
Install: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html
Then: sudo systemctl restart docker
3. nvidia-container-toolkit is installed but the Docker daemon was not
restarted after install. Run:
sudo systemctl restart docker
4. You are using Podman / Kubernetes / a managed container service that
needs a different GPU flag than --gpus all. See the relevant docs:
podman: --device nvidia.com/gpu=all
k8s: nvidia.com/gpu resource request + GPU operator
To bypass this check (e.g. offline tooling), set UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1.
