Installing nvidia driver on Fedora 21 crashes my system

[Napoleon Quashie]

I have been using Fedora 21 since the alpha release and overall it has
worked wonderfully (it has never one crashed and I use it every day), even
to the extent of noticing a reduction in the memory consumed and processor
usage when I have all my usual application up and running. One thing though
is, I find my screen is kind of jerky when I scroll and this has never
happened with other Fedora releases.

I therefore tried to install nvidia. I have always followed the steps from
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/. It
basically boils down to:

Install RPMFusion

*yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs kernel-devel acpid*

yum install kernel-PAE-devel
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

*reboot*

However, after reboot, I get the rather interesting message:

Oh no something has gone wrong
>
> A problem has occured and the system can't recover.
>
> Please logout and try again.
>
> I've never had any issues installing nvidia in the past on any Fedora
release. Hoping for some solutions on how to fix this. Thanks in the
meantime.
