nVidia driver not loading

[Dave Pawson]

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?
