Hey,
I upgraded my system using
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide upgrade -y
After I restarted my system The boot screen would freeze and refuse to boot
the system. I had no error. After numerous attempts to recover my system I
had to re-install fedora from disk.
What kind of video card do you have?
Did you try booting with the nomodeset kernel parameter?
(I have similar symptoms with my ATI 9200 when I don't use nomodeset.
The system eventually boots into X, but the screen is black until X starts
and vt's don't work. With nomodeset things work fine.)
