Hi,

I am revisiting the same problem that I faced with Fedora 16, and the reason I could not use it. I installed 'akmod' and 'nvidia settings' from Yumex and when rebooted the screen was stuck at

em1: link becomes ready


I logged into tty3 and then removed akmod nvidia
[root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmod-nvidia.x86_64
[root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmods.noarch

and now system is booting well. What is the problem? How can I use nvidia drivers without this issue. I am liking Fedora 17 very much and would like to continue to use it as my primary OS along with Ubuntu.
