Description James 2012-01-12 02:05:07 UTC 
I can't login now so this is from memory.

This afternoon I updated all pending packages, of which I believe one was Xorg. After restarting, the fedora icon appears(indicating the GUI is operating) and slowly fills while the system boots. A few seconds after the icon is completely filled, the GUI crashes and the system halts.

  At this point the only keyboard combination that appears to do anything is Ctrl-Alt-Delete. This restarts the system. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not appear to have any effect.

This wasn't an X issue. After looking at the yum logs, removing then updating PackageKit uninstalled some packages but did not reinstall them. Adding them back in manually allowed the system to boot normally.
