sounds like a video driver issue.
try booting with the vesa video driver. does that work?
(if you are using grub it i think you have to press F3 and select "boot vesa")

Hi! Fedora uses Grub by default, so when you get the message in your screen to pick an operating system hit F3, then type boot vesa

oops, didn't see it is resolved already...

however, you don't want to go on with the vesa driver forever, do you??

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root and change the Driver ".." value to "vesa" under Section "Device".

Vesa is a general driver. If you want to get specific drivers for your card, you have to give complete details of your hardware. Please do so.

You should post your graphic card specs... or check out for documentation about it at xfree86.org...
