(general response)
I realize this isn't my thread, and the symptoms I experience are partially different from those that Francois is experiencing. But there is overlap.
I thank everyone who tried to help. The helpful posts were:
* Robert's: confirmed that the 6.10.x kernels are not yet supported for nvidia. To keep this short, I'll just say I can only keep one old kernel and not go into the details. But Robert's confirmation of my suspicion is appreciated.
* Francis's: I now know to watch for nvidia-470xx-kmod-470.256.02-3.fc39. I hope I understood correctly. Thank-you.
I agree with Francois's question:
"How can we be sure that a new kernel has the suitable stuff to compile kernel modules?
(before launching dnf upgrade, of course....)"
Once the "dnf upgrade" is done, it's too late; I'm stuck with a very difficult to use kernel+driver.
Robert's comment:
"Assume a delay with NVIDIA drivers on kernel migration. The thing is to keep the working kernel and check https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org until a report that a patch has been made."
The first sentence makes sense. The problem is I don't know that the kernel is going to update until it's too late: when I run the "dnf upgrade".

Bonjour,
Yesterday I updated my fc40 installation. I have an nvidia GPU with nvidia driver from rpm-fusion.
I think that the akmod compilation of the driver went wrong and I could not boot until the graphical login screen: the screen remains black and nothing was possible to be done, even accessing to consol via ctrl-alt-F2-to-12.
So I booted in rescue mode and erased all nvidia stuff (except firmware) and modified the kernel line in grub (suppressing "blacklist nouveau") and rebooted.
Now, I can boot but not to graphical mode: at the end, I have to switch to consol (Ctrl-Alt F2), login and startx.
How can get a full boot upto graphical mode again?
Thank you.
I'm at f39 (workstation), and I use the rpm-fusion nvidia driver. I did my weekly patches yesterday. I noticed the kernel was updated, but there was no (a)kmod update. The old driver does not compile with the new kernel. On rebooting, the boot process fails back to the nouveau driver. So I'm having to boot up with the older kernel.
I realize Francois and I are using different Fedora releases (39 vs. 40). But I wonder if we both have the same problem: the kernel update got ahead of the rpm-fusion nvidia update. This has happened to me several times in the past, and it has happened to other people as well.
Since I don't know what version of the rpm-fusion nvidia driver the new kernel wants, how can I know when the new driver is released?
Isn't dnf supposed to check dependencies before updating? Why is dnf updating the kernel if the appropriate version of the rpm-fusion nvidia driver is not (yet?) available?
Bill.
