The latest kernel package, kernel-4.14.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc28, has been
stable for 3 days now, so I think issue 2 is licked. The virtual
consoles still come up with a weird color scheme, dark gray on light
gray, but the workaround of starting X to fix that still works (reverts
them to light gray on black). And doesn't occur in rawhide, though the
terminals come up really bright black instead of black black. The
workaround reverts them to the correct behavior there too.
