Or, if you don't care about seeing the Red Hat
Graphical Boot (rhgb) screen when you boot up, you can
do as I did - people on #fedora IRC suggested this fix
for me and it worked:
- in /etc/grub.conf, take out the "rhgb" on the
kernel line
- create file /etc/rc.modules with these lines:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe nvidia
- chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules
and that's it. Reboot and the boot shouldn't hang,
and you should see the NVidia splash screen.
HTH.
