The standard ways of getting rid of the nouveau driver (up to Fed 17)
do not seem to work anymore in Fed 18:
add 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub
(and/or add 'blacklist nouveau' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and
then run grub2-mkconfig and dracut.
The only way I found to change initramfs with dracut was to use
'dracut --omit-drivers nouveau' but this does not survive a kernel
update.
How should this be done in Fed 18 or are there bugs in grub2-mkconfig
and/or dracut. Any special considerations when booting UEFI (grub2-efi).
I need this because I am using 'bbswitch' to shutdown the discrete
nvidia in an optimus laptop (2x longer battery live and machine runs
much cooler).
[It would be nice to have a working vgaswitcheroo so you do not need
out-of-tree kernel modules].

Try 'nouveau.disable=1' in place of 'rdblacklist=nouveau'.
