Hello, fedora users, I have an Nvidia graphic card. Instead of using the default nouveau driver, I installed akmod-nvidia (simply by yum -y install akmod-nvidia)
Now first time after installing akmod-nvidia and restarting the machine boot hanged with this message: [OK] Started Builds and install kmods from akmod packages.
I waited for more than 10 minutes and nothing happened, I cannot boot. Any ideas ? what should I do so that it will boot OK ?
regards, DavidS
I don't know why it would hang, but did you also install gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel?

It is possible that you are missing kernel-devel package use this for installing http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia also if you are interested why it doesn't install 'kernel-devel' package, look here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047041

It's also possible that the appropriate xorg-x11-drv-nvidia files weren't installed. Having the kmod doesn't do much good if there's nothing available to make use of it. Please run:
yum list installed *nvidia*
(Root access not needed) and let us know what files it reports.
