Dear all: I encountered a problem when I insteall nvidia driver on Rocky Linux 9.3. First, the installation is complete and success. After reboot, I can login into the desktop. So I try to install nvidia driver following the instrument on the web. First I blacklisted nouveau by editing a conf file in etc/modprobe.d/ and then I input “dracut --force” and reboot. However, after rebooting, I can not see the prompt interface and the system showed error missage as showed in attachment image. So who can help me to solve this problem? Thanks ![wx_camera_1703827280996](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/4/4041ed90fb941d12229a84d78cedbbf9b6948089.jpeg) ---

It’s highly recommended to not use the .run installer and use a driver from rpmfusion. This is due to how the driver may overwrite system files and is not sustainable over the lifetime of system updates.
