Fedora 29 Server (or 28) install is stuck...?
-
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.

They "expected" Fedora 24 -29 to install...

Nothing in their compatibility list would indicate that they've even tested with Fedora since F23.

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.

Yesterday, when I spoke with them, they told me they "expected" F29 to work.
This AM, they sent me email asking me to install F24.

So we're back to the solution that was provided to you several days ago.
