Hello,
I always thought that rd.driver.blacklist=nvidia
as kernel parameter in grub would inhibit loading the nvidia kernel modules. However, I just learnt that this is not the case.
I’m struggling with a ‘blank screen’ while booting into f36. Here’s an extract of journalctl --no-hostname -k -b

Sep 03 14:59:26 kernel: NVRM: Try unloading the conflicting kernel module (and/or
NVRM: reconfigure your kernel without the conflicting
NVRM: driver(s)), then try loading the NVIDIA kernel module
NVRM: again.
Sep 03 14:59:26 kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA devices probed.
The messages beginning with kernel: nvidia-nvlink:
are repeated over and over, screen is blank, no login prompt or anything.
I do not fully understand why the kernel is trying nvidia stuff in the first place. Any suggestions how to avoid the problem?
Kind regards,
