If you run Rawhide you *really* need to install the akmod package.
Fusion don't always rebuild kmods for every Rawhide kernel build, and
even when they do, they'll always be a day or two behind, which is quite
a while in the fast-paced world of Rawhide.

Dunno. Given the below, try it without Java? Do it from a console and
see what error you get?

Dunno, but see above. Do you *need* Java?
