Same thing happened to me. I fixed it by checking the log and rerunning
the modulebuild script manually.

This was discussed on several recent threads (search for nvidia in the
Subject) and is fast becoming a FAQ. The basic issue is that the akmod
install script compiles the source module against the new kernel,
creating a new rpm. It then tries to install the rpm, but the rpm
database is already locked by a different process (presumably the dnf
run that called the script in the first place, though I haven't
verified this). The rpm install fails but the user isn't told directly,
and when he reboots there is no nvidia module available for the new
kernel. I suspect that this happens to those of us who run dnf directly
from the Shell. I understand that the GUI tool under Gnome reboots into
a special image before actually doing the installation, which therefore
avoids the problem, but I don't use Gnome or GUI installation tools so
this is pure conjecture.
