Comment # 59 on bug 1224773 from Imo Hester

Sorry for the third comment. These steps here include the inspection of the
driver situation after installing everthigns as described before.

There fore after migrating RC2 to RC3 (eg clean install) making one tu dup and
adding the driver repo as well as the driver package:

> ll /boot/efi/opensuse-aeon/6.10.2-1-default

This reveals 2 initrd files. One from 12:34 from the installation of RC3 and
one from 14:45 after adding the nvidia driver.

Currently I have 6 snapshots:

Therefore the boot entry of the latest snapshot 6 looks like:
> vim /boot/efi/loader/entries/opensuse-aeon-6.10.2-1-default-6.conf
> # Boot Loader Specification type#1 entry
> title      openSUSE Aeon 20240730

As we see it includes the latest initrd as seen above but apparently it does
lack the nvidia driver and looking at the boot log of the current system it is
also still using nouveaou. Therefore the blacklist isn't used either:

Therefore doing the manual fix is still required eg: Generating an initrd
manually using tu initrd, moving it to /boot/efi/opensuse-aeon/KERNEL_VERSION
and then edit the latest boot entry to use the correct initrd.

This is as detailes as I can get because there is nothing else I did so far. I
hope this helps in any way :/
