But I see Aug 2 21:41:11 pons kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mcount (err 0) in /var/log/messages which I've not seen before. I removed the module with dnf and rebuilt it with akmods (which again produced the "unknown symbol" message, and X still won't boot. Is anyone else having this problem? Suggestions for a fix? Are you using akmods?
Yes. I followed the rpmfusion framework instructions when I installed F25 and all has worked till now.
This typically occurs due to an API change in the kernel happens from time to time and it may take nvidia a little while to fix.
Should I expect everyone else using the nvidia / rpmfusion to be having the same problem? If so, I'm surprised to see no complaints other than mine. I searched the web but there was nothing recent with the "unknown symbol (err 0)" error.
Try booting the previous kernel and see if that works.
It does. I'm running on it now. If the API has changed, shouldn't I expect all later kernels (including F26) to cause the nvidia driver to fail to load? Also, I wonder why it built successfully. (Not questioning you so much as trying to understand.)
