In addition to Kevin's advice, the way Fedora packaging works, you 
should still have some older kernels installed (inc. your last working 
kernel). Try booting to an older kernel and see if that works. If it 
does, you know you've got a problem involving the Rawhide kernel.

(Current Rawhide kernels die as soon as modesetting kicks in, for me, on 
a Geforce 9600 GT. I need to get around to triaging it.)
