nvidia module not loading

[Joseph D. Wagner]

Do you have the nouveau driver blacklisted in your kernel boot parameters?

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off

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.

$ cat /proc/version

$ lsmod | grep nvidia
