Hi All,
I had a similar problem and it had to do with the kernel sources/headers
in my case. Fedora was running a later kernel and sources than the
latest version of stuff from rpmfusion for nvidia, once I put the
correct older version of sources/headers in place, I could force the
module to build and it all worked great from there.
It appears my "Solved" message from yesterday morning did not make it to
the list. Here's what I wrote in response to Francis.Montagnac@xxxxxxxx

Aha! 'akmods' was installed, but fails to run, reporting a missing
dependency--'kernel-devel'! So, every time the kernel is updated, the
build of the nvidia module fails (silently, as far as I can see).
Having installed that, akmods now happily builds the nvidia module and
the system boots and uses it.
Thank you, Francis.
