I'm not sure where the problem lies, so I'll start out with where I'm
coming from...
I built a machine 2 years ago to support the Folding@Home project
using F32 and an Nvidia 2060 card.
It's been running non-stop ever since.
But I want to update the system to the latest and greatest release and
drivers
(since it appears that my old? CUDA drivers have stopped working with F@H)
So first I updated all my packages using dnf and attempted a reboot
(into the new kernel) and that's where the first problem appeared.
The boot process hangs with the last message on the screen being
"Notify NFS peers of a restart"
(I don't have any NFS configured on this machine.)
So I rebooted with my old working kernel and examined /var/log/messages
and I see:
Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[972]: (bad exit status: 2)
Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[4378]: Error! Bad return status for module
build on kernel: 5.11.22-100.fc32.x86_64 (x86_64)
Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[4378]: Consult
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/440.82/build/make.log for more information.
Looking at that file, I see a variety of errors basically telling me there's
incompatibilities between the stuff Nvidia uses to get itself 'linked
in' at boot
time, and what the kernel is now providing.
If I can't get to a GUI screen to be able to fetch and install newer
NVIDIA drivers
how can I get my system updated?
Suggestions welcome.
TIA

There have been several posts in the last few days arising from the
shift of some nvidia cards to 'legacy' status. Cards supported by the
470 series driver but not by 495 now have to add the 470xx tag to the
rpmfusion package name.
The GTX2060 is listed as supported by 495, but there won't be F32
packages for it. It would probably be best to upgrade to F35 (or F34)
to get them; that process now seems to be straightforward and reliable.
I found that the rpmfusion cuda package was not installed by the default
akmod build process; "dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda" should work
for you.
