A couple of questions. Does -19 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=151075) work? And, any particular reason you have "nomodeset" in your boot options, does it work without that?
*** Bug 566931 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Didn't check -19, but -20 started okay without nomodeset. (I'd forgotten I had that; left over from trying to get nvidia to work, since nouveau can't boot my second card :-(. Unfortunately, nvidia dropped support for that card in their new drivers, and it seems the old one doesn't work on F12.)
I can confirm, removing nomodeset from the boot options allows -20 to work. I don't recall adding nomodeset to the boot options. In fact I did not know what it did until I googled it. I built this server a few months ago and installed F12 on it. At the time I used the on board video. Perhaps the F12 installation put it there? M/B is a Biostar TF7100P-M7 and the chipset is GeForce 7150/nForce 630i.
Can you guys test the build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/bskeggs/task_2010361/ and report whether it fixes things? Thanks!

I removed nomodeset, rdblacklist=nouveau and vga=0x318 and I can now boot. I had those set as I had to deal with Bug 555202 until 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE was released. Basically the earlier kernels crashed on my older nvidia card.
I should also point out, that if you are newly installing Fedora 12, you get 2.6.31 and the old nouveau driver. In my case, you are forced to use nomodeset, until the 2.6.32 comes through in the update.
