I'm not sure where the problem lies, so I'll start out with where I'm coming from...
I built a machine 2 years ago to support the Folding@Home project using F32 and an Nvidia 2060 card.
It's been running non-stop ever since. But I want to update the system to the latest and greatest release and drivers (since it appears that my old? CUDA drivers have stopped working with F@H)
So first I updated all my packages using dnf and attempted a reboot (into the new kernel) and that's where the first problem appeared. The boot process hangs with the last message on the screen being "Notify NFS peers of a restart"
(I don't have any NFS configured on this machine.)
So I rebooted with my old working kernel and examined /var/log/messages and I see: Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[972]: (bad exit status: 2) Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[4378]: Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.11.22-100.fc32.x86_64 (x86_64) Jan 1 12:36:10 localhost sh[4378]: Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/440.82/build/make.log for more information.
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?
Suggestions welcome. TIA Fulko

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.

When the GUI doesn't start, those messages are not relevant and this is not a hang.

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=...

They don't? Then what are the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs packages provided by rpmfusion?

There have been several posts in the last few days arising from the shift of some nvidia cards to 'legacy' status. Cards supported by the 470 series driver but not by 495 now have to add the 470xx tag to the rpmfusion package name.
The GTX2060 is listed as supported by 495, but there won't be F32 packages for it. It would probably be best to upgrade to F35 (or F34) to get them; that process now seems to be straightforward and reliable.
I found that the rpmfusion cuda package was not installed by the default akmod build process; "dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda" should work for you.

That may be true, but that shouldn’t prevent the kernel module from *building*, which this thread is about.
My suggestion is to make sure you are booted into the kernel that exactly matches the version of “kernel-devel” you have installed. As long as you have an internet connection, you can fix that with the text login, you don’t need a graphical login for that. You can kick off a new dkms build too from there too.

Well, Fedora 32 (as well as rpmfusion 32) is already EOL on 2021 May, even Fedora 33 is already EOL on 2021 November, no no updates will be received for Fedora 32 or 33.
I suggest to upgrade your system to at least Fedora 34 first.

hi,
F34 has them, I believe. would consider upgrading to it _at least_ for packages...

It isn't clear if you are saying this a problem or just informational.
In my case, I get only 12 and they all seem rational.

My reply was intended to give some evidence about what the rpmfusion packages provided, and to hint, in response to the preceding post, that it might give a complete version of the cuda set. I posted a list of installed nvidia packages earlier, but have not yet found a way of pointing straight to that post in the HyperKitty archive. So here's another block of text. A few of the packages are, I suppose, not really relevant to the precise topic. The 'command line' ones are products of the akmod process.

I have no idea how useful they might be. I think I installed them via dnfdragora, the graphical UI for dnf, after a search for nvidia-related packages. But it needs a working graphical environment, and creating its cache feels very slow...
