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

Fedora Server by default has a console only login.
Yes, I understand that. I'm asking if the physical hardware needs a graphics card/chip at all. Even for console output... I assume it would need something if you're hooking up a monitor, but I don't know if the IPMI NEEDS a graphics chip at all.
Maybe there's a way to install the operating system without that component? Disable the on-board chip in the bios maybe?

Yeah, for console output you need graphics of some kind.

But you don't need a specific graphics driver in linux as all graphics chips can do 80x25 textmode.
But why does the Fedora Server installer run in graphics mode if the server then only does console in textmode? The way I understood the problem here was that it's the installer that hangs, not the OS after installation.
PS. IPMI need a graphic chip or more correctly, IPMI is a graphics chip, CPU, memory and a network interface integrated into one chip.

Update...
There is definitely something wrong with this mb.
I have the 6 core version X10SDV-6C and Fedora 29 installs with no errors!

Ah, awesome. Might just be a hardware error. Interesting.

Update from SM:
"After we perform more test and use a non-widescreen monitor, we can finish installing Fedora 29 on our 4C version MB." -
