This has been covered on this list before. You need to add
"rdblacklist=nouveau" to your kernel command line; that prevents the
nouveau driver from being loaded out of the initrd. That's
in /etc/default/grub, then run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
to make it effective. For old grub, edit "/boot/grub/grub.conf"
