It would always fail trying to load the kernel module. This (I think) is because the nouveau module was already loaded and had grabbed the video card. This, annoyingly, happened even if I turned off "rhgb" and booted single user. I finally had to boot with "nomodeset" and "3" to get it to boot without nouveau loaded, after which I could finally get the Nvidia driver to install. (The Nvidia driver will also not install if you are in single user mode, hence the "3"). --Greg -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
