Fedora on MacBook Pro: need to disable graphical boot screen

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
