      @FATeknollogee Typically, I find a corrupted download borked the installer if it hangs at any point in the boot process when installing.

      What it's doing right then specifically, I'm not sure. I could take a couple educated guesses, but they'd just be guesses.

      I tried F29 and F28 iso's...same problem.
      Maybe I should try burning the iso with Rufus instead of Fedora Media Writer?

      That shouldn't make a difference.

        I've seen this a few times, particularly with units that have nVidia GPU's where the drivers aren't installed.

        I don't have a GPU.
        The MB is a SM X10SDV-4C+-TLN4F

        Have you performed a hardware diag? Maybe your RAM or CPU is causing issues.

        Not yet.

          I'd go down that road first and at least perform a memory test to see if there are any issues.

              @FATeknollogee are you attempting to install Server or Desktop on this board?

                Server...my bad, I forgot to mention that.

                  @FATeknollogee So start with the basic troubleshooting. Confirm the checksums match, test the media (from the installation screen there), perform a memtest and other basic hardware troubleshooting steps.

                  This board isn't particularly old so I don't think you're having a compatibility issue.

                    @FATeknollogee I always use Rufus. I don't know if that could possibly be the issue or not but I have never had an issue with it before.

                      No, you are at a point where you know that the burn worked.

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

                          This page is already the top hit for this issue with this motherboard.

                            There is a decent chance that the kernel that you have here is just too new. Might be worth going to CentOS for this hardware.

                              When things are hung, can you hit Ctrl+Alt-F2 and see if you can get to a console?

                                This board also supports Windows 10 so again I don't know if the issue is actually compatibility.

                                  Windows 10 isn't a version, though. It's a family. So like saying it supports Fedora, but not telling you which versions.

                                    So you have to assume it supports every version. Although lower down in the list it doesn't show support for F24 so yeah there is likely an issue of some kind.

                                      But they don't list anything after F24, so there is also a very reasonable chance that they simple stopped testing some at F23 and others at F24. But who knows.

                                            Actually, my prev response was incorrect. I've used the 6C board on oVirt.
