Hi,
Great news your up and running. I did a fresh install of 39 about a week ago and have been holding off of dealing with nvidia. I did an upgrade to 40 today and all seems well.
I just followed your install process:
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia ← no issues
waited for the result of ‘modinfo -F version nvidia’ to give me → 550.76
then i did a reboot and during that reboot I see “nvidia driver missing, falling back to nouveau”
What additional steps do i need to do to get this working ?

I’m guessing I’m missing this step but its not on the rpmfusion site
sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make dkms acpid libglvnd-glx libglvnd-opengl libglvnd-devel pkgconfig
??

After rebooting what do you get from modinfo -F version nvidia? What does cat /proc/cmdline show?
You appear to be doing a fresh installation so you may need additional steps (depending on your hardware) mentioned in the rpmfusion Nvidia Howto .

after reboot modinfo -F version nvidia => 550.76
cat /proc/cmdline =>

I Did not run →
sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make dkms acpid libglvnd-glx libglvnd-opengl libglvnd-devel pkgconfig
but I do have the kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed according to 'dnf list installed ‘kernel ’

Time to look for error messages using journalctl in a terminal.
You have not been using the </> button for pre-formatted text. That is important for the complex journalctl output.
journalctl captures enormous detail, so you have to do some work to filter out irrelevant entries. It also produces very long lines that end with > in the default terminal output. You can get complete lines by piping the output to cat. I’ll give some examples but you should read man journalctl for the explanation of the suggested options. Start with journalctl --nophostname -b -g nvidia and journalctl --no-hostame -b -p 3 | cat.

Time to start a new thread. There have been previous issues with nvidia-powerd, see: Failed to start Nvidia powerd service after update :
Users with a desktop system who never suspend or hibernate should never have that installed anyway. If they do suspend or hibernate it is needed for a recovery of the GPU at the same state when suspended.
We don’t know if you have a laptop or a desktop. The RPMFusion Nvidia Howto has information for laptop configurations.

Possibly due to secure boot being enabledmokutil --sb-state
You also may need to add nvidia.drm-modeset=1 into that kernel command line
That can be done by editing the file /etc/default/grub and on the line beginning with GRUB-CMDLINE_LINUX insert the above option into the line and save it. Then run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Note that you hijacked a thread that already contained a solution and yours should have been a new thread. I am moving your posts to a new thread.
