TL;DR: Something's missing an install hook, and I don't know what needs it.
I had this one bite me in the posterior just this morning. Here's what I've discovered seems to be happening. When installing the lowlatency kernel tree on a fresh install with NVidia drivers, the hook that triggers `nvidia-driver-*` to recompile its kernel module doesn't happen. I tried doing a `sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia- driver-535` to force it to do so on my system, but the hook still didn't seem to run. I rebooted to the lowlatency kernel and worked from tty1. I installed `nvidia-driver-525` which pulled down `gcc-12-base`, `cpp-12`, `libgcc-12-dev`, `gcc-12`, and `dkms` as well as the`libnvidia-*` items needed for building the kernel module. It then proceeded to do so for the active kernels. Onde `dkms` had been called and the nvidia driver kernel module activated, the desktop came to life. At this point, installing `nvidia-driver-535` resulted in a kernel module compilation and install. Everything now works fine. I have no idea where this needs to go from here.

Generic kernel boots without problems. lowlatency can't boot to desktop, it gets stuck and shows black screen with cursor blinking. The same PC worked yesterday with 23.04 and low latency without problems. I have been running lowlatency kernel in this machine for a couple of years, no problems.
