Here's a clue. I just booted my f22 partition and ran dnf update, which did
update the kernel and caused akmods to build a new nvidia driver. It worked
fine for me, it installed the nvidia driver with no problem, so perhaps it is
a timing issue and depends on how long various update activities take.

There is also stoopid packagekitd which seems to run at the most
inconvenient possible time to interfere with manual updates. I noticed it
started showing up in "top" right after I did the dnf update.
