With that said, a couple of questions:
0. Please post your hardware configuration.
GPU: GeForce GTX 275
Intel i5
8GB RAM
I've got a two machines using GTX 2xx cards.
HW should be safe, I reckon.
2. Have you followed the nVidia HOW FAQ?
(http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia)
On that page it says PAE. I am using 64bit of Fedora 17, should I use PAE?
x86_64 is 64bit.
No need for PAE.
(yum install kmod-nvidia etc)
I am not sure which drivers should I install. I tried both kmod and akmod
from Yumex (one by one and at both times boots into Fedora and the screen
get stuck with above mentioned em1: link becomes ready)
3. Have you made sure nouveau is *disabled* in grub?
No.
Big no-no.
nouveau collides with the nVidia binary driver.
This alone might explain the issues you are facing.
1. Install the nVidia binary drivers.
$ yum install -y kmod-nvidia.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
(You can remove the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 part if you don't
need 32bit support)
2. Edit /etc/default/grub
2a. Locate a line that contains "rhdb quiet"
2b, Right after the quiet, add:
rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
(I usually also add vga=xxxx to get a nicer login screen. E.g.
If your display is capable of displaying 1024x768 you can add
vga=0x317)
3. Once done, rebuild the grub2 configuration.
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
4. Reboot.
Done exactly that. I did not add vga=0x317 as my monitor is 1900x1080
I rebuilt the grub configuration as you suggested.
Note: I am multi-booting with Ubuntu so that I do have a system working
unless I fix Fedora issue. I did not install Fedora grub instead using
Ubuntu grub. So, I also updated Ubuntu's grub.
When I did everything as you stated and rebooted. But once again when I
booted into Fedora the boot started and then screen was stuck here:
[ 13.172058] ADDRCONF (NETDEV_CHANGE): em1: link becomes ready
