Description of problem:
When attempting to install the nvidia graphics drivers, the system completely freezes when root runs init 3 from the gnome-terminal or in console mode after doing CTRL-ALT-Fn when running GNOME or just after GDM has loaded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot system until gdm starts
2.Do Ctrl-Alt-F6
