I've rebooted to the previous kernel. Does that matter? Running under
that older kernel, I get this:
-----
-bash.1[~]: akmods
Checking kmods exist for 6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64 [ OK ]
Building and installing nvidia-470xx-kmod [FAILED]

/var/cache/akmods/nvidia-470xx/470.223.02-1-for-6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64.failed.log for
details
Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

1. Do I need to re-do this under the new kernel?
I think it will compile against any kernels that need it. Which kernel
are you running and which one do you need?
2. Should I do what the output above says?
Check the log to see why it's failing. It might be a kernel change that
breaks the module. You could try forcing it and see what happens.
