Just an update. Used grubby to set the default kernel to 6.7.11, 
and ran akmods, so not BOINC sees the nvidia and is able to use 
the GPU...

Now Acer notebook is running 6.7.11 kernel that works with the 
rpmfusing nvidia.

uname -a
Linux kevinacer.dyndns.org 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP

GNU/Linux

$ cat /tmp/BOINC-output | grep GPU
15-Apr-2024 08:54:02 [---] CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce 
GT 650M (driver version 470.99, CUDA version 11.4, compute 
capability 3.0, 2000MB, 2000MB available, 730 GFLOPS peak)
15-Apr-2024 08:54:02 [---] OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA 
GeForce GT 650M (driver version 470.223.02, device version

peak)

So, not sure why it works with 6.7.x but not with 6.8.x.

Have seen that Busybox also had an issue with some options no 
longer working with 6.8.x kernels. Said the 6.8.x dropped some 
things that cause the app to tail to build.
