(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?
