If not, you'll need to rerun dracut after configuring.
That's the only thing I can think of. It appears to be working for me.

Everything was working until the latest kernel update.
Looks like you found it. The nouveau driver isn't blacklisted after the
kernel update.
What is also interesting is that the current grub.cfg doesn't have any
blacklist command for any of the kernels. Previous kernels do work as
expected. They load the nvidia driver and run.
This is the grub.cfg entry from today for the presently working kernel.
Notice, no blacklist for nouveau.

Followed these instructions. Now to test.

It is interesting that the system does boot and in a terminal, modprobe
cannot find the kernel module, even though it is there. Not an error
about not being able to load it.
