With my problem (update rather than new system), Xorg log shows
similar oddities (my view)
E.g.
LoadModule "nouveau"
Loading /usr..... /nouveau_drv.so

LoadModule "nv" # is this the Nvidia module????
Warning, couldn't open module nv
Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)

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.

You need to blacklist the nouvea driver. There are instructions on how to
do this online.
The nouvea driver is blacklisted in the boot process. That was the first
thing I looked for. It is all related to EUFI boot process. Turn of EUFI
and I don't have any issues. Turn it on and I get the nv error message
because the nouvea driver IS blacklisted.

The closed source module that is built by akmods.
This is the error message.

I tried to boot multiple times with no success.
I remembered some conversation about the newer kernel and signed modules
for secure boot and I turned of secure boot in the BIOS. Machine now
loads. This is not a new issue but most people just turn off the secure
boot to get around it.
I have been looking into it some more and there needs to be a key that
is accepted by "Secure Boot".
