Try to boot your system with a parameter for the framebuffer. This should work on Fedora too:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Setting_u...ice_%28GRUB%29

Add vga=xxx to your boot parameters and replace xxx with a value from the following table:

Code:
                           Resolution in pixels
Color depth      |   640x480      800x600      1024x768      1280x1024
256        (8bit)|     769          771           773           775
32000     (15bit)|     784          787           790           793
65000     (16bit)|     785          788           791           794
