I had the same probleme with F8. In my case it was the nvidia driver.
If you are using nvidia and you have the livna repo too try the
following steps...

Log/Boot into runlevel 3

as root run "yum remove kmod-nvidia" and "yum install kmod-nvidia"

switch/boot back into runlevel 5

and all should be fine again.
