Boot issue with Nvidia drivers and kernels after 6.4.4 on Fedora 37

Hello. I’m running Fedora 37 on an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 which has an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060, and I use both the laptop screen and an external monitor. After upgrading the kernel Fedora will not boot using the new kernel but work fine when selecting an older one. The boot screen hangs and I get an error from noveau (details below). I have been avoiding using newer kernels but need to upgrade to Fedora 38 soon, before 37 end-of-life.

Long story:

Since a few kernel versions ago (don’t know specifically which one) I noticed my laptop screen resolution went up after rebooting, and when trying to lower it to match the resolution I use on my external monitor, the Display Settings dialog didn’t allow me to do so and showed an information panel with something about “unsupported resolutions are not available in this plasma wayland session”. I was unable to figure out how to change the resolution on the laptop screen (and found KDE plasma x11: can't change screen resolution AMD iGPU laptop kernel 6.3.9 / broken sddm 20.0 (asus g14 2022) - Newbie - EndeavourOS ) so I figured that there was something wrong with that kernel and my hardware and figured I’ll just skip that kernel and use the next one. After some time I tried again updating the kernel and the new version won’t boot. I get the following noveau errors at the end of the output for journalctl. Also I have tried editing the boot options on the new kernel adding apci=off and during boot I get the “NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau”, and does finish booting (but the computer does not seem to work as usual, it responds slowly and seems unstable). Then I found Fedora 37 NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau and am tempted to just do what the solution there suggests, but am not sure if my system is currently using the Nvidia drivers or not, and if trying to install them is going to lead to more issues than it solves.

For comparison this is the output after booting with the last kernel I have tried that works (6.4.4)

I don’t use Fedora for gaming (I use dual boot for that) so all I really expect from it is to be able to play video files and streaming, so I’m happy for Fedora to ignore the Nvidia graphics card if that makes my life easier. I’d like to understand if the older kernels were not loading Nvidia drivers, then how to get the new kernel to do the same and avoid that noveau error.

Looking at the output of the installed nvidia packages I see one major problem. The akmod-nvidia package is not installed!
Since that package is what triggers the build of new kernel modules with kernel upgrades we need to recover the error. To do that the cleanest way and avoid problems with other nvidia packages that are still there I suggest cleaning out all the currently installed packages then do a complete new install.

  1. sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware which will leave the fedora provided and necessary firmware package.
  2. sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda which will install all the latest nvidia packages and build the kernel modules for you.
  3. Wait at least 5 minutes after the install completes before rebooting.

When you reboot the drivers should properly load.
I suggest you compare the package list given by dnf list installed \*nvidia\* after the install with what you posted above.

secure boot after installing check installed drivers are build

modinfo -F version nvidia

then sign keys to secure boot MOK

sudo /usr/sbin/kmodgenca

sudo mokutil --import /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der

after those are done

sudo reboot

for me this signs keys, but wont load modules yet so i need to go and type

sudo dnf remove 'kmod-nvidia-*'

sudo akmods --force

sudo reboot

and your all done

seems more on secureboot issue since if secureboot is off tthere wouldent be issues on loading kernel modules and fall back to nouvuae

Not quite correct.

Read his list of installed nvidia packages.
The akmod-nvidia package was missing which means the new modules will not get built and installed for the newer kernel.

Yep, thanks a lot, that did it.

No clue how that package was removed but it obviously was still on the system when the 6.4.4 kernel was installed. The akmod-nvidia package is critical to having the nvidia drivers kept up to date with each kernel version update.
