I can confirm the nvidia-304xx is broken, there is some problem with the mttr. I have seen some solutions on some other forums, nothiing on the Fedora side of business. I did exactly what Greshko said and it still did not work on two of my machines. In the end I had to downgrade the kernel to 4.2.x and block the systems from further kernel/nvidia changes until second notice.
I agree with Robin, this is an issue best dealt with the rpmfusion packager, but it is good to discuss a little here because this list is the first go-to, trusty, place for Fedora users to check on problems.On Sun, Jan 31, 2016 at 6:30 PM, Ed Greshko <ed.greshko@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I recently had a problem with the nvidia-340xx. I would only get a blank screen with no X
being started. I did not check the logs I just did what has worked for me in the past.
1. dnf erase *nvidia*
2. reboot (You could either boot to gui using nouveau or multi-user mode)
3. dnf install akmod-nvidia-340xx (In your case akmod-nvidia-304xx
4. reboot
There is nothing to lose by trying this.
In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from
