I have same problem here, my video card driver is Intel too, after complete service starting, it freezes after Fedora logo blink, any command doesn't works ( ctr+alt+f1, del, etc )

I guess may be the plymouth getting problems to start login screen ( in my case KDE )

You don't happen to use the intel Xorg driver? That driver will fail
fail in the way you describe if you try to turn off kernel modesetting.

In Fedora 11 I had to have  kernel modesetting disabled to get
hibernate/suspend/resume to work properly, and when I upgraded I got
this failure. Unfortunately the hibernate functionality still fails on
my Thinkpad 50e with modset on.
