I know that the nvidia driver is proprietary software.
Neither F22 nor F23 will boot on my laptop with kernels from the last 2 week or so and the latest nvidia drivers. When I attempt these kernel/driver combinations, it stops on the console screen which then begins flashing about once per second. My laptop boots normally and runs fine if I use the nouveau driver.
Does anyone know the cause or a work around for this situation ?

Current kernel: 4.2.2-300.fc23 x86_64
Current driver: 352.41-1, built by akmod. Log says it built and installed properly.
I first observed the issue with a couple kernels in F22. I avoided them and ran with older kernels. When I updated to F23, for other reasons, the kernels that ran became unavailable. Now I have no kernels that will run with the nvidia driver.
I might be jumping the gun saying this is a video driver problem. All I know is the console freezes during boot and the screen flashes. I could try to get an image of the screen content with my SLR if it would help.
This is my first post to the testing list. Be gentle !
Also: where is the correct place to get nvidia updates from ? Right now I am using rpmfusion=rawhide. But I've seen people stating they are using a newer nvidia driver. Where are they getting it from ?
Thanks.
