Hi:
I just upgraded my Fedora 41 packages. At the end, it indicated a failure on Autoinstall of module nvidia-open/575.51.03 for kernel 6.15.5-100.fc41.x86_64 (x86_64):

I haven’t yet rebooted. Hoping to fix the problem before rebooting but unsure how to proceed.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes time to read this.
That is what may happen when you install packages from somewhere other than fedora or rpmfusion. The packages from rpmfusion use akmods for compiling and your text shows using dkms.
I suggest you remove all currently installed nvidia packages
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware
then reinstall the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion.
Installing from rpmfusion will get the 575.64 package version.
First check that the rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-drivers repo is enabled by running dnf repolist
Once you are certain that the rpmfusion repo shown is enabled then install the packages by using sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda and verify that all packages being installed come directly from fedora or rpmfusion. If it is attempting to install packages from some other repo then add the option --disablerepo <reponame> to the dnf command so it prevents installation from the other source.

Thank you VERY much @computersavvy for sharing this. Will post again after I’ve tried it.
FWIW, I do have two packages – kmod-nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-kmod-common – installed from cuda-fedora41-x86_64. That repo’s not in my current repolist, so it’s probably from when I was fumbling around with the various NVIDIA drivers last year (?):

Actually, those 2 packages may be all that need removed.
After that I would verify the active nvidia module with modinfo nvidia | grep -i -e version -e license If it shows 575.64.03 and Dual MIT/GPL then you should not need to do anything else except run sudo dnf reinstall akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda kernel* to get the system to build the modules for the newly installed kernel.
This is what my system shows
$ dnf list --installed *nvidia*

Thanks, again, @computersavvy ! Looking good:
$ modinfo nvidia | grep -i -e version -e license
version: 575.64.03

Then:
$ sudo dnf reinstall akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda kernel*

Thank you SO very much, @computersavvy ! My laptop rebooted just fine and seems to be working. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
