in your grub.conf add

In order to keep compatibility with nouveau 
<http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#nouveau>, you either need to recreate 
the initrd manually after the driver has been installed, or add a 
command line option to the kernel. To recreate the initrd:

su -
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit 
/etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting 
with 'kernel':

   rdblacklist=nouveau

Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so 
SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.

setsebool -P allow_execstack on
