The new kernel install always takes one of the boot lines and uses
that exact line for the newly installed kernel.
I've just managed to get the 6.0.5 kernel to load the nvidia driver.
There is potentially a defect in the akmod-nvidia (or relevant package)
scripts in that it seems that they no longer add the blacklisting
statements for nouveau into the kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub,
I had to put those statements in there manually before the nvidia driver
was loaded instead of the nouveau driver.

It shows the blacklisting of the nouveau drivers in there. Is that a change with the 6.0.5 kernel, prior to that kernel they were always in /etc/default/grub?
Just looking at grub.cfg I have now found that while I thought I was boot off the 6.0.5 kernel, I hadn't actually run grub2-mkconfig to update grub.cfg for the new kernel. I have run that now and because /etc/default/grub no longer has the nouveau blacklisting statements they are not supplied on the kernel line in grub.cfg for any kernels it's set up to boot from. From below /proc/cmdline has also not been updated for the 6.0.5 kernel either, I'll see what it shows when I get a chance to boot off that kernel.
cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.19.16-200.fc36.x86_64 root=UUID=ba36dde9-5bf1-4140-89e7-b82ee1fe7cf9 ro rootflags=subvol=Fedora_root rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1

Does the following display from lsmod indicate that
the nvidia module has not installed properly? I don't have the drm
module and the blacklisting of nouveau and the nvidia modeset
parameter have not been added to the kernel parameters in
/etc/default/grub, or is it that I did not force a rebuild of the
kernel module and I did not force an update of the boot image?
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia_drm 73728 32
nvidia_modeset 1187840 65 nvidia_drm
nvidia_uvm 1318912 0
nvidia 55242752 2950 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
Which drm module don't you have? The listing shows it. Also, there
are no nouveau modules listed, so the blacklisting is working.
/etc/default/grub is only used if you fully regenerate the grub.cfg
file.
I use /etc/default/grub as I always fully regenerate the grub.cfg
file via grub2-mkconfig.
Normally the install of akmod-nvidia, kmod-nvidia put the
blacklisting of nouveau and the nvidia modeset parameters in
/etc/default/grub, but this time they didn't, which is the first time
I've seen that issue. I'm also not sure how the nvidia driver has
been loaded when there are no kernel parameters to do so.
The kernel module will get auto-loaded because it matches the
hardware. There's probably a blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d.
There doesn't appear to be a blacklist file in that location for
nouveau. Maybe the install scripts modified the initrd file, but I
thought that methodology wasn't used anymore in favour of the kernel
parameters.
The reason I was querying the display from lsmod is that the web link
where I got the instructions from for updating the secure boot data
for fedora showed sample lsmod output as evidence that the signing
and rebuild had worked correctly, and it was the last two lines in
the display that I'm querying whether I should have as well (the i915
is not relevant to me)?
|nvidia_drm 73728 1 nvidia_modeset 1150976 2 nvidia_drm nvidia
36954112 129 nvidia_modeset drm_kms_helper 311296 2 nvidia_drm,i915
drm 630784 28 drm_kms_helper,nvidia,nvidia_drm,i915,ttm |
It looks like they have dual graphics. Assuming your display is
working, it's fine.
Yeah, he may do.
Thankyou for you responses Samuel.

Steve
