Re: nVidia driver not loading
Note it is the nVidia driver that is failing, hence I need to
do the opposite of what is being suggested.
The 'blacklisting' mentioned (I think) is done on the Kernel cmd line
rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
and ( I assume, since I didn't change it) is done by the nVidia
driver installation?

I switch between nvidia and nouveau for testing.
Here are the steps I use to install the nvidia driver.
(I have no idea why you would need to bother with the black listing stuff).
Install NVidia closed drivers
Fist remove open driver:
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Install closed driver:
dnf install akmod-nvidia
reboot
