The standard ways of getting rid of

add 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in

(and/or add 'blacklist nouveau' to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and
then run grub2-mkconfig and dracut.
You have to create a file like /etc/dracut.conf.d/10-blacklist.conf with
omit_drivers+=" nouveau "
This is only a workaround, the root cause is that rd.driver.blacklist
does not function..

And this is the proposed patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/2971
I may not implement the workaround for the proprietary driver that use
the rd.driver.blacklist function. But more likely break with a
describing message if a user install the package with an unfixed
dracut, so everyone fix the problem in the right way.

Should this not be an official bug plus bugfix for Fed18?
I do not quite understand the patch, a bit above my competence,
so I shall not attempt to apply it.

Here's what works for me so far:
1. Change instances of "rhgb quiet" to "nomodeset" in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
2. Reboot
3. as root type "init 3"
4. run the NVIDIA*.run file
5. init 5
