      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!!

              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 starting switch root on the net.

                    Or why not this, which seems to have found the issue (maybe you have the same):

                      RHEL 7.5 installs fine.

                            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?

                                  Use CentOS since Fedora isn't operable on this board.

                                            For the Dell R620 I got for the home lab, I had to manually set the resolution at the boot prompt, but that doesn't sound like the same issue.
