Failing to install NVIDIA driver 535 on Rocky 8.10 based DGX A100

Accelerated Computing DGX User Forum

Hello, I installed Rocky 8.10 on DGX A100, and trying to follow the guide for installing/upgrading DGX on RHEL based systems.
I have the nvidia-dgx-8.repo with the following repos enabled:

[nvidia-dgx-8]
https://repo.download.nvidia.com/baseos/el/8/x86_64/main/
[CUDA]
https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/
[nvhpc]
baseurl=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/hpc-sdk/rhel/x86_64/

I ran ‘dnf group install ‘DGX A100 Configurations’’ successfully

But the next step of installing the NVIDIA drivers (trying to use 535) I run into an error:

 dnf module install nvidia-driver:535/{fm,src}

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
