Hi,
I had a problem somewhat similar, I was unable to boot correctly and did 
not have the correct video card and monitor setup after an upgrade from 
fc2 => fc3.

The solution was as follows;  when the boot stopped I was able to 
continue it by pressing "ctrl-C".  The system would then boot in write 
protected mood and I would get a consol/command prompt.  I got some good 
help here to find the correct commands and an editor to open and edit my 
xorg.conf.  Under the video section the video driver was configured with 
a wrong name, or actually I think the driver name was entered twice.  So 
I corrected it manuall and rebooted and everything was fine.

Could it be that you are hit by the same problem?

Regards,
Truls
