(I'm doing this from a windows-7 box)
This morning, I did my weekly patches for my f-39 stand-alone
workstation. No problems.
Then I did the upgrade to f-40. I did not sit there and watch it.
During the automatic reboot, it booted using the nouveau driver
rather than the kmod one from rpm fusion non-free. During the
post-upgrade task "remove-retired-packages", the workstation
apparently crashed. Upon rebooting, it came up in console(?) mode; I
could not get into graphics mode.
I shutdown again, and tried to boot into f-39. But it came up f-40,
console mode.
I have neither "live" media nor installation media; last time I
tried them, they didn't work. F-40 console mode and window-7 are all
I have to work with.
How do I get this workstation working properly in Fedora?
Also of note...
After the upgrade to f-40, my grub menu shows one f-40 entry, one f-39
entry, and a windows-7 entry. But both Fedora entries boot to an f-40
console. I assume it's a normal console window, but I'm not certain.
Hmmmm....
Maybe I was wrong.

If I boot from the f-39 entry, uname -a says I'm running f-39.
If I boot from the f-40 entry, uname -a says I'm running f-40.
Regardless of which grub line I use to boot, rpm -qa | grep release
gives this:
- - - - - -
flash-plugin-32.0.0.465-release.x86_64
fedora-release-identity-basic-39-36.noarch
fedora-release-common-39-36.noarch
fedora-release-39-36.noarch
rpmfusion-free-release-39-1.noarch
rpmfusion-nonfree-release-39-1.noarch

Are these the things that I should dnf remove?

The graphics card is a GeForce GTX660.

I've received multiple suggestion. Which do I try first?
Am I correct in assuming it does not matter whether I boot from the f-39
or the f-40 grub entry when trying things?
