Hi,
I just did a fresh install of F17 on a ESXi 5.0 VM, and it crash on first boot with the message
"Oh no! Something have gone wrong. A problem ocurred and the system can't recover. Please contact the system administrator"
along with a sad computer face.
I tried the 32 and the 64 bit version and both present the same issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Yes: shoot the ID10T who decided that this was a useful error message. If nothing else, it should give you some diagnostics to help you (or whoever your system administrator is) figure out what happened.
AIUI, this is strictly a Gnome 3 problem. You might want to boot into whatever init 3 is called now and use yum to install KDE, XFCE or some other DE. That way, you can use your alternate DE to do whatever's needed to get Gnome running again, assuming that it's your preferred DE.

install the vmware-tools. The graphic drivers are not compatible is my guess.

Try rpm -e fprintd from a text console, as you might be hitting bug 810040 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810040

I can now confirm that it was indeed the same bug Michael Young suggested.
Alternatively we can run 'yum remove fprintd' to get rid of the offending package.
After reboot I got a nice login screen.
Thank you all
