The check at boot is incomplete: it only checks that the kmod-nvidia-KVER rpm is installed, but this rpm does a mandatory "depmod" in postinstall and this "depmod" may have been killed during shutdown. I made a proposal to prevent that: kmod failed to load after upgrade Fedora using dnf system-upgrade https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011120 still waiting for approval: > Running it after an update and before reboot is just making sure it > gets done and can be skipped if you don't mind the extra few seconds > during boot. Not only. AFAIK, the nvidia kernel module is mandatory at boot otherwise Xorg may fail since it loads the nvidia_drv.so driver from xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.that has to have the exact version as the kernel module. Also, on some machines, nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is mandatory in the kernel command line. > I never bothered and never had any problems letting them do their > jobs as they were designed to do.
