I am revisiting the same problem that I faced with Fedora 16, and the reason I
could not use it. I installed
'akmod' and 'nvidia settings' from Yumex and when rebooted the screen was stuck
at /
em1: link becomes ready/
I logged into tty3 and then removed akmod nvidia
[root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmod-nvidia.x86_64
[root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmods.noarch
and now system is booting well. What is the problem? How can I use nvidia
drivers without this issue. I am liking
Fedora 17 very much and would like to continue to use it as my primary OS along
with Ubuntu.
you should simply NOT upgrade to the latest fedora version soon
after release if you rely on third-party drivers
I am running Ubuntu at the moment. The reason I could not use Fedora 16
was this issue. I have been playing with Fedora 17 and liking it, so do
want to use it as my primary OS. If installing nvidia drivers is an
issue I can keep then disabled and try later. However, if there are
instructions how to install nvidia drivers that will help.

this is always the same discussion after each new release
F16 has the same kernel, firefox, thunderbird.....
in this moment there is not much new in F17 for most
workloads but you get usually a newer xorg which causes
your problems and will do with each release in the future
as long you are not willing to buy supported hardware
