Hello Patrick, I have not tried this - I will check it out later tonight but I doubt if it will work in my case, as the display is not recognized at all and I do not get any output (not even an underscore).
Hello Jeff,
Here are the details (all run from the 6.3 kernel):
# dnf list installed '*nvidia*'
Installed Packages
nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch 20230625-151.fc38 @updates
I have exactly the same issue with my Framework laptop.
From a previous machine that contained this SSD, I also had nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch installed. I removed that as there is no Nvidia in this new laptop, but it made no difference: kernel-6.4.4-200.fc38.x86_64 won’t boot.
Since we can see the nvidia drivers are not installed and that nouveau is being loaded I would suggest that one do the repair in 2 steps.
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh to ensure the system is fully updated.
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda to install the required packages for the drivers. Extra needed dependencies should be automatically pulled in.
Then wait at least 5 minutes after the install of the nvidia drivers before rebooting. The necessary time delay depends upon the amount of time required for akmods to build the actual modules.
The key is enrolled, so the new modules being built should be signed and properly loaded when you reboot.
Today, I also had the kernel-6.4.6-200.fc38.x86_64 installed and it has the same issue as kernel-6.4.4-200.fc38.x86_64 (i.e., completely blank screen).
Now I am afraid I will lose the only available kernel (6.3) with the next kernel update. Is it safe to uninstall one of the 6.4 kernels using dnfdragora?
My bad, I realised I did not wait for the 5 minutes as I was too eager to find if the nvidia installation solves the problem. So I used this command again to see if it completes the akmod sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda - it completed with a “nothing to do” message. So I rebooted again and now the 6.3 kernel is also giving a blank screen after showing the fast scroll of boot messages (in non-quiet mode). I put the machine to sleep and brought it back and it still shows the blank screen. Rebooted again, same issue.
Now, I have completely lost Fedora as the rescue boot is also not coming up - i just see a bunch of failure messages and a press Enter message. It keeps cycling through the same set of messages after pressing Enter.
I do not have access to another computer to ssh and find what happened. I will try to reinstall Fedora sometime later next week.
Thank you Jeff, Kamil for all the help and guidance.
I also have exactly the same problem. My GPU is GTX1660Ti. I’ve installed nvidia proprietary drivers.(I had low fps running CS Go so I installed them and low fps solved, so I am pretty sure nvidia drivers are running and active).
And also I have the same error in my logs:
Aug 08 12:38:53 fedora-sina kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
Did you removed the 'faulty" kmod-nvidia-[newest kernel version] first? Akmods will tell you “nothing to do” if that one is still there; i don’t know why, but sometimes that kmod- is’nt generated “working well” but still sits there.
So check with “sudo dnf list kmod-nvidia-*” and remove the latest version -if that is the one for you new kernel- with “sudo dnf remove kmod-nvidia-[newest kernel version]”.
Thanks Richard for the input. Since I could not proceed due to the lack of GUI, i wiped the partition and reinstalled Fedora 38 - it is now working fine. I have not installed the nvidia drivers this time.
