Done exactly that. I did not add vga=0x317 as my monitor is 1900x1080

I rebuilt the grub configuration as you suggested.
Note: I am multi-booting with Ubuntu so that I do have a system working
unless I fix Fedora issue. I did not install Fedora grub instead using
Ubuntu grub. So, I also updated Ubuntu's grub.

When I did everything as you stated and rebooted. But once again when I
booted into Fedora the boot started and then screen was stuck here:
[ 13.172058] ADDRCONF (NETDEV_CHANGE): em1: link becomes ready

OK.
Lets try the following:
0. When Fedora boot, bring up the grub menu.
Couldn't find a way to bring grub during Fedora boot. However, upon booting again the screen was stuck at the above command and I went to TTY2 to edit grub.

1. 'E' to edit the Fedora entry.
2. After rhgb quiet, add "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
vga=0x317 3". (Notice the '3' in the end)
This is how mine now looks
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet rhgb rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modset=0 vga=0x317 3"

3. Ctrl-X to reboot.
4. Fedora will be boot, but will not try to bring up X.
5. Login as root.
6. Please post the output of:
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep nouveau
nouveau 785681 1
nxm_wmi 12823 1 nouveau
wmi 18697 2 mxm_wmi, nouveau
video 18980 1 nouveau
drm_kms_helper 40409 1 nouveau
ttm 79709 1 nouveau
drm 241920 3 ttm, drm_kms_helper, nouveau
i2c_core 38028 4 drm_kms_helper, nouveau, i2c_i801


7. Please post the output of:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64 root=/dev/sda6
8. If nouveau is loaded (will be shown in the output of line 6), try
removing it:
$ /sbin/rmmod nouveau
tried says:
Error:Module mouveau is in use

9. Repeat line 6, does nouveau still appear?
10. If nouveau is not present, type:
$ xinit
11. If nothing happens, press Ctrl-C, and attach the contents of the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
12. If everything worked just fine, edit /etc/default/grub, locate the
"rhgb quiet" and add "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
vga=0x317".
13. Rebuild the grub configuration:
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
