Can you confirm that you need CUDA and not only the nvidia drivers ?
If yes, I suggest to not use the rpmfusion repositories since they don't provide CUDA. See below.
The boot process hangs with the last message on the screen being "Notify NFS peers of a restart"
When the GUI doesn't start, those messages are not relevant and this is not a hang.

Looking at that file, I see a variety of errors basically telling me there's incompatibilities between the stuff Nvidia uses to get itself 'linked in' at boot time, and what the kernel is now providing.
If I can't get to a GUI screen to be able to fetch and install newer NVIDIA drivers how can I get my system updated?
Switch to a textual console with Ctlr-Alt-F2 (or F3 F4 ...) or ssh to the machine if you can.
Then, if you need CUDA:
- uninstall the current version - if you installed it whith a nvidiaXXX.run script, run: nvidiaXXX.run --uninstall - otherwise try: dnf remove *nvidia* *cuda*
- follow the instructions at: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=...
