Fedora on MacBook Pro: need to disable graphical boot screen

[Where Where]

Hello everyone!

I'm attempting to switch to Linux from Mac OS on a Macbook Pro model number
MacBookPro10,1 with the latest BIOS and firmware. I need to have full-disk
encryption for work, so I allowed the fedora installer to set up an
encrypted LVM volume alongside my Mac partition (I'm dual-booting). But
alas! Upon booting for the first time, I get this error message:

(In yellow) [3.226029] pci 0000:00:01.0: ASPM: Could not configure common
clock
[4.258867] i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents

The boot then hangs...and nothing happens.

i915 refers to the graphics chipset on my laptop. I had previously tried
Ubuntu (which didn't end up being what I was looking for) and found that
when I installed the server version, without the graphical boot, Ubuntu
booted, but when I installed the desktop version, with a graphical boot, it
did not.

So I currently wish to disable graphical boot in Fedora. I'd also be happy
to do a new installation to get rid of the graphical boot if that's what it
takes.

Any kind advice?

Daniel

I'm not sure which graphical you are talking about. The
graphics that display during the boot (the animated
fedora logo filling in and flashing white), or booting into
a GUI login?

For graphics during boot, remove the "rhgb" kernel
parameter in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg kernel
entries.

For booting into a console login rather than a GUI
login change the symlink:

/etc/systemd/system/default.target to point to
/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target instead of
/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
