Re: latest kernel boots to a blank screen

You must blacklist nouveau in the edit /etc/grub.conf and add the 
following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':

rdblacklist=nouveau



Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so 
SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.

setsebool -P allow_execstack on

Make sure the kernel extensions are intalled with the Nvidia Driver

That's it
