"nomodeset" was already there as a kernel argument.

When I tried to install Fedora it said that it is booting from the cd
and then the screen went blank. The test media and wizard was almost
invisible. Then I managed to install with basic video settings.

I tried to boot without nomodeset, again the screen went blank.

I suspect that the brightness of the screen is set to a lower level in
normal mode (without nomodeset)
