Well, yes and no. It's true that installing the kmod or akmod does not
run dracut for you but it should add "rdblacklist=nouveau" to the
kernel line in your grub.conf which should effectively stop nouveau
from loading unless that kernel option is broken in F15.
If rdblacklist is there (and still functional) then that would explain
why running dracut didn't help.
The first time after rebooting I did of course not run dracut!
The akmod/kmod install had indeed modified
grub.conf to include: "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0"
(I checked before rebooting).
But this did NOT stop nouveau from loading.
lsmod showed nouveau and nvidia sitting brotherly together in the kernel.
Only then did I run dracut which indeed removed the nouveau modules.
Could this indicate that this kernel option is broken (and should
I bugzilla it)
