I will report a bug when I can confirm.

I have blacklisted the module to test.

Interesting thing.  Grubby has not put the blacklist command on any 
kernel since I updated on Aug 25. with 4.6.5 and everything worked well.

This file does exist.
/usr/lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf

This is from the akmods.log file.

2016/10/01 11:11:04 akmods: Checking kmods exist for 4.7.5-200.fc24.x86_64
2016/10/01 11:11:04 akmods: Building and installing nvidia-kmod
2016/10/01 11:11:04 akmods: Building RPM using the command 
'/sbin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.7.5-200.fc24.x86_64 
/usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latest'
2016/10/01 11:11:31 akmods: Installing newly built rpms

One thing I don't see any log or rpm in the /var/cache/akmods/nvidia 
directory yet I have nvidia modules in the kernel tree.
