Same problem with Fedora 28 on Dell T330. Fallback to CentOS, everything works.

Fedora 28 worked fine. No issues once I knew to use the alternative installer option.

I feel kinda sad that the text only installer is completely gone now. It was so much faster.... of course nothing is as fast as a Kickstart install.

Yeah, I agree. I preferred that.

@scottalanmiller What was the alternative installer options, basic graphics mode?

inst.xdriver=vesa or inst.text

Just choose "Basic Graphic Installer"

@scottalanmiller Lol well I missed that, but I did get into text mode.

The documentation says text mode doesn't allow LVM setup

Docs

But the installer does allow the option now so that probably means it they have been working on it
