doesn’t that mean that it doesn’t need to be enabled on startup?
Does the same apply for akmods package updates?
You don’t need this for LUKS. I’m using it and it works just fine without early loading. Also, I have secure boot enabled - if you need that, look up Nvidia secure boot guide.
Akmods seems to run asynchronously, so yes often times it’s not done by the time dracut generates an initramfs.
But there’s doesn’t seem to be any issue from that
in my case sadly i apperantly do need it i have a full disk encryption with only my boot partition beeing unencrypted without forcing the nvidia driver into the initramfs i get a blackscreen on boot if i set my laptop up to only use the nvidia gpu (needed for working gamescope)
For the rest i do have secure boot enabled as well as all the steps to allow nvidia to run under secureboot.
Do you have omit_drivers+=" nouveau " in dracut.conf.d/*.conf?
turns out i don’t have to ad anything to the initramfs the problems seems to be specifically with the boot splash screen itself when i remove the rhgb kernel parameter it works just fine even with a unmodified initframfs

We have seen several reports with specific hardware of that issue. The fix for most seems to be the one you identified in removing rhgb from the kernel command line.
