This was a known problem before the release. I don't know why it isn't published more widely. Basically, you should read
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241249

There seems to be three options.
1) Add maxcpus=1 to the kernel boot line of grub. This will let you boot with only one cpu; 2) Add clocksource=acpi_pm to the kernel boot line of grub. This seems to work for everybody 3) After booting by some method (possibly an older kernel), update to the kernel found at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/fc7/

I am currently using method 2 for my D620.
