I just got thru installing again and this is the log before any drivers
are added.  Let me know what you think.
There's no errors in it. I'm still not clear exactly which X session
this log is from. Is this from after a failed attempt to start X on an
installed system?

I had to leave for a minute.  Sorry about the wait for answer.

If I install drivers (akmod or kmod) this is when the problem of
restarting my computer comes in.  As long as I leave the drivers alone,
it runs perfectly.  Just trying to understand why I can't use these
drivers.  I am using a Evga 9500 Video Card.  It will let me install
them and then tell me I need to restartx in order to use them.  Once I
install and reboot that is when I am unable to get back in Fedora 12
without reinstalling it.  Does that make sense or am I losing it after
10 trys.
That is precisely what we're trying to debug...what happens when you
install those drivers.  So, install them, and when it craps out, hold
down ALT, press the F2 key, log in as root and post the
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file from the failed X startup.

This sounds good to you and I understand but how do I get back what I
have installed for the eleventh time. Smile  Will you be there to
instruct me how to overcome?

To get the drivers to work and boot up you have to add nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel line in grub.conf
