You cannot use the nvidia-driver package with rt kernels:
"The kernel you are installing for is a PREEMPT_RT kernel!

The NVIDIA driver does not support real-time kernels. If you
are using a stock distribution kernel, please install
a variant of this kernel that does not have the PREEMPT_RT
patch set applied; if this is a custom kernel, please
install a standard Linux kernel. Then try installing the
NVIDIA kernel module again."
