Note it is the nVidia driver that is failing, hence I need to
do the opposite of what is being suggested.
The 'blacklisting' mentioned (I think) is done on the Kernel cmd line
rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
and ( I assume, since I didn't change it) is done by the nVidia
driver installation?

Hello,
A new machine and I have installed the rpmfusion nVidia akmods but xorg is trying to load module
"nv", not "nvidia" according the Xorg.0.log.
Where could the system be trying to load the nv driver instead of the nvidia
driver?
nvidia-xorg.conf exists
99-nvidia.conf exists and points to the correct module directories.
This may be the issue.
modprobe: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Required key not available
How do I add a key to nvidia to load the module?
I need secure boot configured on this machine for Windows 10 and gaming as it
is not my computer and will be configured as dual boot.

I switch between nvidia and nouveau for testing.
Here are the steps I use to install the nvidia driver.
(I have no idea why you would need to bother with the black listing stuff).
Install NVidia closed drivers
Fist remove open driver:
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Install closed driver:
dnf install akmod-nvidia
reboot

I was using akmod-nvidia. The issue is that the kernel or BIOS isn't
accepting an unsigned kernel module.
If I turn on EUFI, system won't load the nvidia kernel module. Turn off
EUFI, I don't have any issues.
I have searched and I can create a key but as far as I am concerned,
this should be part of the akmods-nvidia package.
Do you do testing with EUFI turned on?
This machine will be a dual boot with Windows 10 (needed for some games)
and Fedora so EUFI is going to be required.
