There is a conflict between noveau and die nvidia driver.

If the noveau kmod is loaded then you can't start the ninivid
driver. During runing of dracut a special module blocking file will
be interpreted. After runing dracut the kernel will not loading
the noveau driver from the initramfs, so you can start the nvidia
driver without any issues.

Additional the nvidia driver will added to the initramfs, so you
get a graphical boot screen.
