6.4.4 nvidia driver 535.54.03 doesnt work after kernel update

The error may exist as a result of the user doing a reboot quickly after a kernel update, which can interrupt the akmods rebuild of the drivers.

The easiest fix I have found is a simple

  1. sudo dnf remove kmod-nvidia-6.X.X* to remove the failing drivers (use the kernel version that has failed – in this case 6.4.4 )
  2. followed by sudo akmods --force to rebuild and reinstall the driver for the running kernel.
  3. Then after waiting at least 5 minutes for that step to properly complete do a reboot.

This seems to work in almost all cases.
