/var/log obtained in failsafe graphics mode with F18 beta LiveCD

LiveCD for both F18 beta and nightly build from 2012-12-17 fail to build on my machine with an Ironlake Mobile GPU (see below). If I choose the normal boot mode, Plymouth is not visible: the screen goes grey, then blanks and never returns. If I choose failsafe graphics mode (xdriver=vesa nomodeset), I am able to see the boot process, but X fails to start: on F18 beta, I am able to go to a console; with the nightly build, the machine hangs when X starts, and the fan does not stop (probably CPU use).

I am attaching the logs I could get with F18 beta in failsafe graphics mode.

Please ask for any information/debugging you may need.

The card model is:
