So does it try to load a firmware file from the filesystem, or is it flashed onto the card?
I tried your suggestion of nomodeset and remove rhgb and quiet and that does allow me to boot the F44 Cinnamon live media. I don’t see any mention of nouveau or nvidia in journalctl so I guess in this environment a driver isn’t used. Here is the inxi:

Darn. What about F42 Workstation?
I think there are two pieces of data that would be valuable to obtain, if you’d like to try submitting a bug report for this issue and hopefully get a more concrete resolution:
Which release was the last one to work properly? F42 Workstation? Or maybe even earlier? e.g. If you can establish if, for example, it is broken somewhere between F42 and F43 Workstation, that would be key info.
The developers would need the kernel logs (dmesg) from a failed state. To get that, you’d need to install a broken release with the help of basic graphics mode, set up a SSH server, and then reboot without the basic graphics mode. The GPU will fail to initialize properly, but, you will be able to SSH in and grab the kernel logs with dmesg.
Having this, you could file a bug on Red Hat Bugzilla.

On your working F44 system.
See if it returns anything. I am betting it returns the contents of the
Then go to the rescue disk ie just insert it your working system, the try it on what is in the /boot directory for the initramfs file. If you don’t see anything remove the ‘| grep nvidia’ to see if it has other firmware files (it should).
The ramdisk file is a compressed cpio file. It is pretty easy to uncompress it, unpack it, it into a directory add your files, then recreate and recompress it. Make a copy of the original one first. then just drop it in as the same name.
inxi is showing nouveau.

nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch
nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch` is a Linux package containing essential, redistributable firmware files for NVIDIA GPUs, often required by open-source drivers (like Nouveau) or modern, open-source-compatible proprietary driver setups to function correctly. It enables the kernel to load necessary microcode, particularly for GSP (GPU System Processor) functionality.
I never understood whether it was an abstraction layer or it loaded something to the device itself.

OK, I did this exercise today. The results are that it worked until Fedora 40. All experiments were done with the Fedora Workstation Gnome live media.
Version - Worked
Here are the list of changes in F40:

OK, I did this today and it may have revealed the problem. On my installed system, there are nvidia firmware files in the initramfs, but on the live media there are not. I’m not clear which firmware file my GPU uses, but it may not matter since none of them are there on the live media.
Here is the results from my installed system:

From the F44 Workstation Live Media:

When it rebuilds initramfs, it should include the firmware so maybe boot then drop to the command line and rebuild it. If you want to know which one it is build it for the host only. you can check what is included with the lsinitrd command like you did, you don’t have to reboot inbetween. Since it is on a thumb drive it should write it.
Common Dracut Rebuild Commands
Rebuild for current kernel: sudo dracut -fRebuild all kernels: sudo dracut --regenerate-all --forceRebuild for specific kernel version: sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-<kernel-version>.img <kernel-version>Create host-only initramfs (smaller, specific to current machine): sudo dracut -H -fRebuild and show verbose output: sudo dracut -fv
Interesting, so:
F39 - works - kernel 6.5.6
F40 - broken - kernel 6.8.5 and later
One major change between the two was the addition of GSP firmware support into nouveau:

And nouveau added dependencies on gpu-sched , drm_gpuvm , drm_exec - but I’m not sure what the implication of that could be.
I don’t think it’s the lack of firmware that is causing an issue in your case, as the GPU is brought up successfully with nouveau when it is not the primary GPU - when you boot using the iGPU. Rather, perhaps some process related to the firmware changes is not working properly, leading to a framebuffer hand-over failure?
I think dmesg logs would provide the best clue.
Yuri:
One sure way would be to install F44 Workstation with the help of basic graphics mode. Then you boot your new install, and disable the basic graphics mode, by removing it from the grub command line - you should get the black screen. Then reboot again, back with basic graphics mode, and you’ll be able to check the previous boot’s logs, e.g. with journalctl -b -1.
OK, I did this today. Found an old hard drive and installed F44 Cinnamon to it and the install worked fine in basic graphics mode. So I remove “nomodeset” from the grub command line and then it booted and reproduced the problem. I rebooted and grabbed the logs from the last boot.
Here is the full log:
Here are the nouveau parts:

The inxi output has
which is consistent with kernel command-line args: vga=791 rhgb quiet, but may not be acceptable for nouveau. You could try removing those in the grub editor.
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
Can you try booting the known-working F39 Workstation again and compare the dmesg log?
p.s. When reproducing the issue by removing nomodeset, you should also remove vga=791 as that is also part of the basic graphics mode.
At this point, to get it fixed properly, I think it’s a bug that the nouveau kernel devs would need to fix.
There is a drm/nouveau bug that looks similar to your issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/work_items/385
If you’d like to participate in that bug, it would be good if you could install F39 Workstation, and manually upgrade the kernel to the first version that is broken, and share the logs before/after.https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/6.7.3/200.fc39/x86_64/ https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/kernel-installing-from-koji/ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/6.6.14/200.fc39/x86_64/
You may want to set up a SSH server so you can access the system regardless of graphics state.
Here you go. This is the full dmesg. This is from the Cinnamon F39 ISO:
Certainly looks better:
