This brings to mind the Holmes Corrollary to Murphy's Laws:  "Any law of 
chemistry or physics to the contrary notwithstanding, if it happened, it 
must be possible".
This is very weird.

Can you at least report that some of the steps worked???
Did the reboot at step 4 work? (The vesa driver only step).
Did you at least see the nvidia driver loaded at step 8?
Did startx get you to the graphical desktop in step 9?

I didn't closely follow the beginning of the thread. Could you repeat 
what hardware you are using, and confirm the distro level (F15 I think) 
and kernel. I am interested in confirming the video chipset and the 
wireless chipset, since *something* weird is going on, involving those...
