Comment # 92 on bug 1224773 from Imo Hester

Good day everyone. For some reason on a new Aeon install nouveau get no longer
blacklisted. I am not sure why though because as reported in this bug
previously it did at some point.

During installing the driver I noticed the following lines:

> Modprobe blacklist files have been created at /usr/lib/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau from loading. This can be reverted by deleting /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-*.conf.
> *** Reboot your computer and verify that the NVIDIA graphics driver can be loaded. ***
> No <initramfs file> specified and the default image '/boot/efi/01b217b106b14d2284b6b1f5cff1fa5d/6.11.8-1-default/initrd' cannot be accessed!
> Usage: lsinitrd [options] [<initramfs file> [<filename> [<filename> [...] ]]]
> Usage: lsinitrd [options] -k <kernel version>
> -h, --help                  print a help message and exit.
> -s, --size                  sort the contents of the initramfs by size.
> -m, --mod                   list modules.
> -f, --file <filename>       print the contents of <filename>.
> --unpack                    unpack the initramfs, instead of displaying the contents.
>                             If optional filenames are given, will only unpack specified files,
>                             else the whole image will be unpacked. Won't unpack anything from early cpio part.
> --unpackearly               unpack the early microcode part of the initramfs.
>                             Same as --unpack, but only unpack files from early cpio part.
> -v, --verbose               unpack verbosely.
> -k, --kver <kernel version> inspect the initramfs of <kernel version>.

I am not sure what is happening here but the path where it tries to find the
initrd seems messed up.  
The only path where the system could offer any initrd files is actually:

> ll /boot/efi/aeon/6.11.8-1-default/
> -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 101915865 12. Dez 00:15 initrd-2a718d985b5fe292e0e6c893da12f6abe18ba42f
> -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  14940528 14. Nov 13:44 linux-735bfc1bd7e24c541fa174ce8c8b939215ddf744

Therefore I don't know what it tries to do at:
"/boot/efi/01b217b106b14d2284b6b1f5cff1fa5d/6.11.8-1-default/initrd".
At best the random character string is to be attached to the initrd- file but
not the path.
Not to mention that there is no "initrd-01b217b106b14d2284b6b1f5cff1fa5d" file
matching the string in the path at all.
I also made sure the MOK was enrolled as this needs to be done manually with
the proprietary module still.

After running
> sudo transactional-update initrd
Gave a new initrd in the right location with everything in it and correct boot
entries. Now I have running nv drivers.

Sorry for bothering you guys again with this nasty issue :/

Kind regards,
