I would not expect repetition to change anything unless the problem is
something random.  Did you look if kmod-nvidia installed correctly?
Were there messages (e.g. scriptlet failures) during (re)installation?
IIUC, references to the driver needs to be present in the initramfs.  I
suspect this is going wrong and you booting with the old initramfs which
still references nouveau.
