A short while ago, I did my weekly patches. After rebooting, only one monitor is displaying anything, and then with a large, wide font. I saw no indication of trouble during the "dnf upgrade". The boot messages go by fast, but I think I saw something about a missing module, and nouveau being used.
I'm not a sys.admin., and the display is very limited. What's the cause of these problems, and how do I fix things?
Try running "sudo akmods" and see if there are any errors.

I've rebooted to the previous kernel. Does that matter? Running under that older kernel, I get this:
-----
-bash.1[~]: akmods
Checking kmods exist for 6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64 [ OK ]

Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

1. Do I need to re-do this under the new kernel?
I think it will compile against any kernels that need it. Which kernel are you running and which one do you need?
2. Should I do what the output above says?
Check the log to see why it's failing. It might be a kernel change that breaks the module. You could try forcing it and see what happens.
I have just done the same kernel update with the same nvidia driver, and had no problem. Building the driver modules will go on long after dnf quits, if you don't try to boot immediately, and that seems to me to be a safer option than hoping it will complete during the reboot. But of course the log might reveal *why* your build failed...

After the dnf command completed, I did not reboot until about a minute after ksysguard showed the nvidia driver build was done (1% or less activity for all CPUs).
What additional logs are wanted?
