Blanck screen on boot.
When booting on any kernel later than 4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64, I get a blank screen -- No source, monitor LED goes yellow. I have the following installed:
kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64
kernel-4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64
kernel-4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64
Graphics card is:
; /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga
13:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] (rev a1)
Any work around?
From journalctl:

So, what graphics adapter do you have installed?
In order to have a bootable system, make sure you remain with one of the 4.5.x kernels during the next update processes. You can also (temporarily) increase the number of kernels to keep: Set
installonly_limitto maybe5in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.@RealPlayerCraft: Monitor LED.
@florian: Yes, I set
installonly_limit=7as I am paranoid. The graphics card is a GTX970. Is that what you meant by graphics adapter?7is a lot but OK if you /boot is large enough.GTX970 is the problem! Google for it. There are report of a bug that doesn't let 4.6 kernels boot with this hardware. Stick to 4.5 kernels until problem is fixed - not a big deal, right?!
You can always get some extra room by removing the oldest kernel that you know doesn't work.
