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.
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.

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.

F24 isn't acceptable at all. that's crap. That's so far out of support, what a mess.

I don't understand WTF Supermicro has to do with this. It's a Fedora problem, not a Supermicro problem. RHEL 7.5 installed fine, so case closed.

That said, I think the problem is related to UEFI boot or settings for the hard drives in bios or something around that. Or the flash drive if it's run from USB. Starting switch root is when the real root filesystem is mounted during the boot process. I'd also let it sit there for at least 15 minutes to make sure it really is stuck and doesn't spit out an error message.
And I'd also wipe the disk you're trying to install to, so it doesn't have any hidden partitions or disk signatures that tricks the installation program.

So to my point however long ago, why are you still looking to SM to fix an issue that Fedora would be responsible to resolve.
