Hi,
Installing using yum is always a bad idea since it's an untested method
of upgrade. You should stick to the recommended methods ("preupgrade" in
the past, now "fedup"). It may be possible to fix your system, but we'll
need to diagnose the issue better. Boot into runlevel3 as described
here[2], and see if you get to a login prompt. Then check your logs
in /var/logs/messages for errors.
Please note that f18 is soon going to be unsupported. It might be better
to upgrade to F19 or wait a few days and upgrade to F20 on Dec 17.
In the meantime, please backup all your data using a LiveCD in case you
need to make a fresh install.
