Nicolas also replied , I had wrote so notes on Howto/VirtualBox wiki
page [1]

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/VirtualBox#I_had_install_kernel-debug-devel
_but_I_need_kernel-devel
This is because you have installed the wrong kernel-devel variant ,
you need kernel-devel whereas you might have kernel-debug-devel
instead (when using the normal kernel).
So it's likely that you have an installation error and akmods cannot
build the module.
In the nvidia documentation, I've tried to workaround this issue
by
using (on a fully updated system and rebooted):
dnf install "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"
https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Current_GeForce.2FQuadro.2FTesla
But the coming fix will be to use a new rpm feature, so it has a
chance to be installed along the right kernel.
