I'm starting Yet Another Thread here because things have changed enough 
that it seems reasonable.  On my desktop, I ran this:

yum --releasever=16 --skip-broken distro-sync

and let it do what it wanted, including downgrading several packages. 
Then I rebooted.  I always see the old progress bar, because of my 
nVidia card, making for a garbled screen as the new boot messages came 
up, but that's been true since the "upgrade."  It tried, tried and tried 
some more to bring up the login screen, but couldn't manage it.  After a 
couple of minutes I rebooted.  This time I used the latest kernel in 
rescue mode and used telinit 3 to get to a CLI.  Looking at Xorg.0.log I 
could see that it tried a large number of screen settings to find out 
which ones worked and which didn't and couldn't get some xinerama TV 
settings to work.  (No surprise, I don't have that type of screen.)  I 
didn't see any obvious error messages, however.  If anybody wants, I can 
post the file on my website and you can look at it.
