Hi Day,
Sorry to hear you are having problems, and of the worst kind (ie: system 
not booting...).

It is a weird problem that I have not seen in the two systems in which I 
have tried fc18 so far - anyone in the list with a similar experience? I 
presume you see the entries for the kernels in the grub menu, right? Do 
you see anything at all? What entries do you see? Any error messages? If 
you can edit the kernel boot line in grub, remove the "rhgb quiet" part 
so that you see all messages that are printed by the kernel as it boots, 
maybe there will be some clue there.

An option would be to boot into rescue mode (list: does that even exist 
in the new installer??) and try to redo the grub configuration once you 
chroot into the / partition.
