I think it will compile against any kernels that need it. Which kernel are you running and which one do you need?
I'm wanting to use the kernel installed by today's patches: "6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64". The kernel before that was "6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64". When I sent the 1:52 (mountain time) message, I was running the 6.10 kernel; I'm now back to the new (6.12) kernel.
It was trying to compile for the one you wanted.
- Should I do what the output above says?
Check the log to see why it's failing. It might be a kernel change that breaks the module. You could try forcing it and see what happens.
Here's the log that the akmods command referenced:

If I do the "/usr/sbin/akmods --force" suggested by "akmods", will that mess up future handling of kernel and nvidia-470xx by "dnf upgrade"?
It won't mess up future builds, but I also don't think it will work for this time either. It says you're missing the devel package for the current kernel and I wonder why that is. What does "rpm -qa | grep kernel" give you? --
(Barry) I'm certain the build was done. I knew that there was a command line way of checking for that, but I had forgotten what the command was. So I use the ksysguard displays (both the processes tab and the graphical display). Thank-you for reminding me what the command is for checking via command line.
(Samuel) Here's the output: ------ -bash.8[~]: /usr/sbin/akmods --force Checking kmods exist for 6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 [ OK ] Building and installing nvidia-470xx-kmod [FAILED] Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-470xx/470.223.02-1-for-6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64.failed.log for details
Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install. You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling '/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.
