That is quite an old kernel. Have a GT610 video and had some problems with the 6.8.x kernels. Suggest you edit during the grub boot to add 3 to boot to the console and dnf update to current. There are rpmfusion drivers for the 6.10.x and 6.11.x kernels and the legacy NVIDIA cards. My GT610 system is f39 on kernel 6.10.7 and a GT710 system is running f41 kernel 6.11.3. sticking with X11 and XFCE

I have an older Fedora 40 machine that I tried to install Fedora 41 on, and got a surprise.
For a first attempt, I tried the as-documented dnf system-upgrade steps on a fully working and stock Fedora 40. Upon reboot to actually do the install steps, a black screen is presented and everything had to stop.
For a second attempt, I elected to blow the Fedora-40 system away, and reinstall from iso. The blackscreen was presented again, but this time there was also a mouse pointer visible. Once again, there is no means of upgrading available.
This particular 2008 Dell machine has a vesa video card, and I am assuming that there is a new problem with the drivers in Fedora 41.
Is this a known problem, and is there going to be a fix before release? Or is Fedora now dropping support for older machines?
