If 'nouveau' is installed follow steps below to remove it.

```bash
vi /etc/default/grub
```

Append the following line to the line starting with "`GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX`":

```bash
rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modset=0
```

Update the grub configuration:

```bash
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
```

Add 'nouveau' to the module black list:

```bash
vi /etc/modprobe.d/local-blacklist.conf
```

Append the following line:

```bash
blacklist nouveau
```

Rebuild initramfs.

:::hint{type="info"}
The /boot partition or folder needs to have enough space for the updated initramfs file.
:::

```bash
cp /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /root/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.before_update.bak
dracut -v -f
```

Reboot the server and check that the ‘nouveau’ module is not installed.

```bash
lsmod | grep -i nouveau
```
