Hi Efrem,
Could you try nomodeset on the kernel command line. I think these issues may be occurring because we are using early kms in the initramfs.
nomodeset on the kernel command line inhibits modesetting and the Nv binary blob might then load but the nouveau may still load. This problem does not appear to be unique to the nVidia custom drivers. I have had an issue with an old Dell which I have done a recent install on. See this bug https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1516
Best,
Colin
