When your system comes up into grub, press e to edit the config. Remove
the /rhgb from the kernel line and add "nogui" without the quotes to
that line. Press return to save that line change and b to boot from that
temporary edit.
I had the same issue and this process worked for me. Since this happened
late last night for me, I have not had time to figure out what is happening.

May be you can try to boot from Fedora CD and type
'linux rescue' to see what happens in your system.
Hope it helps.
