I have a similar problem upgrading Fedora 20 to Fedora 21.
Fedora 20 has no issues with kmod-nvidia. Fedora 21 boot
crashes at "Started Gnome display manager".
Well the issue I was facing, was: F20 w/ RPMFusion's NVidia had used
NVidia's 331.x driver. When performing an upgrade to F21, this will
cause RPMFusion's NVidia driver to be upgraded to 343.xx.
However, the NVidia-343.xx series does not support many GPUs which had
been supported by the NVidia-331.xx series. Users with one of these GPUs
will need an older driver. Either from the "Legacy series" or from the
"Long Lived series" (340.xx).
I build a local kmod-nvidia-340xx, which resolved this issue for me.
From what I see in the OP's original posting, the OP has a
"NVidia Quadro FX 1700", which according to
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80145/en-us
is not supported by the 343xx (Short Lived) series of NVidia drivers,
but according to
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80647/en-us
is supported by the 340xx (Long Lived) series of NVidia drivers.
=> The RPMFusion's kmod-nvidia-343xxx will not work for him.
Please check which GPU you have
# lspci | grep NV
and check which kmod-nvidia you have installed.
# rpm -qa 'kmod-nvidia*'
If your GPU is not on
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80145/en-us
you need a different NVidia-driver.
