I was installing fedora 26 workstation on a little Intel NUC system last night (specifically model NUC5CPYH). It uses "Intel HD Graphics" and anaconda worked fine, but once I booted f26 from hard disk, the screen just went gray and stayed there.
When I installed xdm and switched the login from gdm to xdm, I was able to get a login prompt and run gnome (I'm pretty sure in X since I'm guessing xdm probably doesn't know how to start wayland).
Is this a known bug? Should I report it against some component (which one?)

Some questions some to mind....
Did you try to check the logs to see if maybe the driver is crashing?
How about editing the gdm config file to disable Wayland? If you do that, can you get gdm working?

I definitely need to spend more time poking around to check things out. I only just got it to come up last night, then went to bed :-).

I never knew that was possible. For many other reasons, I always get rid of gdm as soon as possible anyway :-).
