Bonjour,
I updated my f24 this morning: a new kernel is provided and using the akmod-nvidia, X won't start....
I logged on console and tried startx but it failed with this message:
FATAL: nvidia module not found in /lib/modules/4.7.3.-200.fc24.x86_64
Of course, the nvidia module is in /lib/modules/4.7.3.-200.../extra/nvidia-340xx
Exactly like for the previous kernel (4.7.2)....
I copied the nvidia.ko in /lib/modules/4.7.3.-200.fc24.x86_64 but, startx failed with the same message which is a lack of honesty!
What happens?
I just updated my laptop which also uses the nvidia-340xx drivers from rpmfusion.
It booted just fine. I use KDE and sddm as my display manager and it came up as expected.
Check /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log for any errors.
Thanks for answering. No errors in the log file. I tried to load the nvidia module using modprobe and the answer was the same: FATAL module nvidia not found (while it is in the right directory)....
So I run depmod -a and the problem is solved, but this does not explain why akmod did not run (or failed to run) depmod after building the module.
