I was following this tutorial on How install the rpmfusion nvidia drivers in Fedora 13:

Here's the tutorial:

F13 Howto for the rpmfusion nvidia drivers


This is a Three-Step Process. If you don't follow all three steps, your install will fail!



1. Install the nvidia driver. ( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )

For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200 & 300 series cards


su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
If you use a PAE kernel



su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
Or (akmod builds the required kmod on bootup )


su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686


2. Edit grub.conf ( if you omit this step the driver will fail to work )


this command adds rdblacklist=nouveau option to /boot/grub/grub.conf



su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)3. Reboot

And this is what I did:

First I executed the following commands:


su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686


Then In step 2 I executed the following commands:

First:

sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf

Then this one:

mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img

And when I got to this one:

dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

I got this message: Will not override existing initramfs (/boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64.img) without --force
So I kinda ignored that command and restarted my computer and that's when I received this message:


RAMDISK: EOF while reading compressed data uncompression error Kernel panic - not syncing Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)[COLOR="Silver"]

============= I used a FedoraDVD/Rescue Option to access my system:

Here's my grub.conf file (boot/grub/grub.conf):




#boot=/dev/sda

When I execute the command: uname -a I get the following:
