Description Barry Scott 2022-11-18 16:35:26 CET 
I upgraded from f36 to f37.

After the system rebooted nvidia driver was not loaded and the nouveau fallback was being used.

I found that "modprobe nvidia" reported that nvidia could not be found.

The .ko files for nvidia where present and in the expected extras folder.

I use "depmod" and the "modprobe nvidia" then worked.
rebooted and everything is working.
