Unfortuantely it's difficult to make the akmods process robust so
akmods should really only be used by those running rawhide OR those
who are good at troubleshooting problems when things go wrong.

One thing you could do after installing akmods and akmod-nvidia is to
try running akmods as root and see if the build process completes so
we would know if it's a systemd service related problem or something
else.
