Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-03-23 01:29:43 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 30-beta by Fedora user satellit using the blocker tracking app because:

 Unable to install workstation due to gdm not starting in bios boot GDM only works in wayland
Bios boot install freezes at gdm
 results in black screen with cursor.

Comment 4 satellitgo 2019-03-25 01:34:37 UTC 
seems to be fixed in:

 Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30_Beta-1.7.iso

 Install worked on ThinkPad T-400 to HD (bios boot)
