Either boot a live cd or hold a key down while you boot to get to the 
previous kernel to get your machine back.

When I did it I had NO choice but to wipe out the system, reinstall 
Fedora 12 do not update but install the driver for Nvidia through the 
Add remove software.
It will install kernel and kernel mod through the driver install.

Then update your system after you get the new kernel working with the 
Nvidia driver

Add remove software and search Nvidia install driver and it will find 
kernel.

This is the only way I could get the system working


Or through yum using akmod nvidia not kmod


Do it through add remove software it is easier
