Yes, exactly the same issue as Matthias Bach had.

My fault, the advice was wrong. Please try instead - as already corrected in my
comment #70

# cat > /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-nvidia-default.conf << EOF
omit_drivers+="nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm"
EOF
# mkinitrd

According to Matthias Bach this should work.
