When things are hung, can you hit Ctrl+Alt-F2 and see if you can get to a console?
Ok, let me try that!

SuperMicro only lists compatibility on that board to Fedora 23. But that's likely just because it is old.

I've used the 6C version of this board with F28 & 29.
Actually, my prev response was incorrect. I've used the 6C board on oVirt.

Spoke to SM support, they said to open a ticket & include a screenshot.

I've seen similar hangs when installing over IPMI with virtual media attached. Is that how you installing it? There are also different boot options, I don't recall exact names, but I think it's something like UEFI CD-Rom and Legacy CD-Rom, legacy usually works.

I've tried all the above options & a Live-CD, they all hang at the exact same spot!!

Just tried CentOS-7_1810, it does not get stuck!!
-
Just tried Fedora 27, no luck, same error.

So based on the information (and the lack of) at least SuperMicro hasn't tested beyond Fedora 23 or 24.
So expecting anything other than that to work is just wierd.
CentOS 7 was on the compatibility list as passing.

Install Fedora 23 and keep doing updates until you get to Fedora 29, or it crashes... That would give you a definitive line in the sand where you know it stops working.

I mean, yeah but seems like a huge effort when we already have a line in the sand.

Plenty of similar issues on the net from a lot of fedora installations, most of them older.
Search for

Fedora 24 (recommended by SM Support) does not install, same error.

So it has to do with Fedora using kernel 4.x compare to RHEL/CentOS using kernel 3.10?

Haven't we already established this?
Use CentOS since Fedora isn't operable on this board.

We've established nothing :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Waiting to hear back from SM support! -

Waiting to hear back from SM support!Does SM build Fedora? How will they fix a kernel issue for you?
