Some way in the upgrade process in grb2.cfg the kernel command line 
merged the upgrade parameters with the rest of the initialization. That 
then propagated to all later kernel installs.

     linux    /vmlinuz-3.10.6-100.fc18.x86_64

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off upgrade

Edit of grub.cfg allows everything to function as it should.
