FWIW, I can confirm that akmod-nvidia-358.16-1.fc23.x86_64 breaks my system with the
GeForce 8600M GS card (a rather old card in a laptop).
Falling back to akmod-nvidia-340xx.x86_64 got things working again. You may want to
consider giving that a try after checking and confirming 340xx is supposed to support your
card.
That's to be expected.
One cannot blindly install the latest "akmod-nvidia*". You need to find
out which of them is supposed to support your GPU on [1] and choose the
corresponding *kmod-nvidia package.
According to this page the *-358.* series doesn't support the "GeForce
8600M GS" [2]. I have an older desktop with a "GeForce 8600 GT", where
the same applies.
