I am not a 100% sure I understand your setup but it shouldn't be possible to add a Kernel module in a container. The container uses the Kernel of the host and doesn't have a Kernel on its own.
Running Textgen on Fedora WS 38 distrobox container. I have an old version of Textgen from a month+ back. When I let the Fedora kernel update and build it broke the old version of Textgen. I tried to get the latest version of Textgen, and it works with the updated kernel 6.6 in a new container, but the changes that the project has made have ruined it for me and I have no interest in continuing to run their version. I want to keep the old version. I rolled back the host kernel to 6.5 and the old Textgen works fine.
I swear I saw something about a runtime loaded version of the Nvidia kernel module, but IIRC that requires the UEFI keys to self sign it.
I tried loading my own keys into the bootloader already but they get reject at the last step and the TPM chip overrides them. I have never tried to boot into the UEFI system with KeyTool. I'm afraid that will be the only way. I was hoping someone here might know the path a little better than my current fog-of-war like state.
(I have a bunch of custom scripts and mods that the Textgen project broke in one of their major changes.)
"Nvidia Confusion" could also be the name of their new AI powered something something 😅
No.
Now regarding your actual problem, more than likely you are overthinking the issue. Either you are explicitly hitting a bug, possibly check fedora discussions, or another issue like broken libraries most likely. Does Fedora have offer an LTS kernel package? I’d try that and if that doesn’t work post logs to show what is happening. I am assuming it worked before on this machine.

They don't and it's insane.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
