I did a system update yesterday which installed kernel 6.17.5 plus a host

into kernel 6.17.4 I still get the black screen issue but I can use
ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to a console so that I can login. After logging in
I can run startx which gets me to a Gnome Desktop where I can write this
email.
Looking at journalctl for nvidia message I found the message Nov 04
07:17:20 fedora systemd[1]: nvidia-fallback.service - Fallback to nouveau
as nvidiadid not load was skipped because of an unmet condition check
(ConditionPathExists=!/sys/module/nvidia)
If you install a new kernel, then akmods needs to run to update the kernel
module. It should run automatically, but maybe it failed for some reason.
Try running "akmods" to see what happens.
It might be a good idea to run top in another shell and watch for dnf,
akmod, c1, depmod, dracut and such. Do NOT reboot when any of those
processes are still running.
Cheers
