Closed issue by sww1235 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/3037

Description:
### System

 
  Fresh install of void in a kvm/qemu vm with no more updates showing in xbps-install -Svu. Linux 4.18.9_1
* package:  
  nvidia 390.87

#### Other system info
* GTX1060 gfx card passed into the VM
* Windows 10 vm with identical setup has no issues.

### Expected behavior

nvidia driver installs and the system boots

### Actual behavior

After installing the nonfree repo and the nvidia package and rebooting, my system freezes after the `loading initial ramdisk` prompt in grub. I have tried with both `nomodeset` and not in the grub linux parameters line.

Everything built properly and seemed to work.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

* install void
* install void-repo-nonfree
* install nvidia package
* reboot system

I had this issue before on 4.17.19_1 and 390.77 but could never figure out a resolution. See #2330 

I am happy to do some troubleshooting, etc but I have no idea how to troubleshoot the initramfs if my system doesn't actually boot.

Thank you for your help
