Try booting into the single user mode. Might be able to find some useful
information from /var/log and debug it further from there.

Another easy thing to try is just select an older kernel from the GRUB
boot menu. I doubt it helps in this case, but worth a try.
If none of the above helps, try creating a more detailed report -- where
exactly does the booting stop? Do you see any error messages? Screenshot
(use a camera); information from log files, and so on.
For what it's worth, I'm typing this on a rawhide installation running
GNOME and it booted fine a few days ago, when I last tried. Granted,
this is with a F17 kernel and initramfs, because I don't want to use the
slow rawhide kernels that have debug options turned on.
