[Discuss] Unable to boot after nvidia install

[david]

This may be because you have installed the wrong version of the driver.
If your video card is not really new, you need to use the legacy driver.
You have to look up your card on nvidia's driver page. Then install the
right one from rpmfusion. Or, you could just try them all, there's only
three. There's the nvidia driver, the nvidia 340 and the nvidia 304. I
use the 304, as my computer is now a few years old.

I even saw the nvidia splash screen...and that was the last graphical element I ever got to see again. All I got after that was a black screen. So I finally gave up and thought I would try uninstalling the driver so I attempted to bot using the recovery option. No dice, error message loop. So I then tried booting into the previous two kernels... Still no luck. As it sits now it appears that I have a hashed OS.
