I just finished doing a "dnf upgrade" as a prerequisite step to upgrading from f-38 to f-39. There were no hints of any problems.  The kernel and the graphics driver were replaced during this "dnf upgrade".
The akmods did finish before I rebooted.
The shutdown took 5 minutes because it ran akmods (a second time?!).
During the boot-up, there was a message that it was failing back to nouveau. The display is not working properly; only one monitor is being used and everything is oversized in the display. I am not comfortable proceeding with the f-38 to f-39 upgrade with the work station in this condition.

Important: I have only one old kernel.  I have no rescue kernel.

How do I get this workstation working properly?

I just ran into that exact same issue on RHEL 9 instead of Fedora.

I wound up uninstalling all the RPMFusion packages and reinstalling them, but it didn't help. I waited til all the gcc and depmod and xz processes completed, it ain't my first rodeo. Still no joy.

I finally just nuked all the RPMFusion packages and downloaded the drivers directly from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx and ran the installer from there. It works fine again. I hate to do it, because I really prefer the RPMs, but I *had* to get back to work and my desktop was toast. Three of my four monitors weren't working.

Sorry I don't have better advice, but I feel like something went south in the RPMFusion packages.
