Hi, my computer doesn’t finish the boot. When I turn it on, it appears that its loading, after that, a “ok’s” screen and finally, it stays in a blinking cursor screen.
I had already ask in another thread, and I tried to run “sudo akmods --rebuild --force --kernels 6.12.7-200.fc41.x86_64”
It didn’t change anything.
The previous thread was
I understand you can boot with an older kernel.
Please show the output of dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* and inxi -Fzxx so we have details to work with.
Please post those by copy & paste the text then highlight the text and click the </> button so the display is preformatted and shows exactly as you see on-screen. You can do the same by entering ``` on the line before the pasted text then also on the line following the last line of pasted text…

Thank you.
Note that this does not match the installed nvidia driver versions which are 565.77
Since the version loaded does not match the installed versions from rpmfusion I have to assume that it was installed from some other location (possibly directly from nvidia using a .run file.) You must remove the 550.142 driver before the system can load the 565.77 driver. I think that if you used a .run file it can be uninstalled using sudo <.run file name> --uninstall
After uninstalling the 550.142 driver you may need to recreate the 565.77 modules with sudo akmods --force --rebuild before rebooting.

It’s solved, it started now with no problems.
The output of rename -r:
6.12.7-200.fc41.x86_64
Thank you so much, and have a pretty nice day.

Hello! I have the same problem with some differences - my fedora 41 is virtual (VMWare Workstation 17) so i dont need nvidia drivers. Also, i cant boot previous kernel.

It appears that you have not upgraded the system since initial installation.
Upgrade it with sudo dnf upgrade --refresh then see what happens.
When a thread already has a solution marked it is much preferred that you open your own thread instead of jumping in with a different problem.
The fact you are not using nvidia makes your problem completely different.
@tragic Kernels 6.11.4 through 6.11.7 contain a broken vmwgfx (VMware SVGA II) virtual graphics adapter driver. That’s most likely causing your problem. Upgrade Fedora as @computersavvy suggests to kernel 6.11.8 or later and that should fix your issue for your VMware VM.
@perockwell, @computersavvy, thank you for your responses. I apologize for the incorrect message I posted.
I have performed a clean installation of Fedora with third-party software disabled, then in the terminal, I ran the command sudo dnf upgrade --refresh instantly, followed by a reboot, but I am still getting a black screen. I will continue to investigate the issue and if I cannot resolve it, I will open a new thread to discuss the problem further.
