Error output in "basic graphics mode"

Description of problem:
Trying to install FC18 on C-250 Rack Mounted server. The installer gives a blank screen. If I use "basic graphics mode" It still exits with a problem (described below)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-18-x86_64.DVD.iso

How reproducible:
Mount the CD through virtual media (usb emulation)
Install. Get a blank screen. If use "basic graphics mode" It errors out

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach CD
2. Boot
3. Select install (get blank screen)
4. Reboot select "basic graphical mode"
5. run jounranctl
  
Actual results:
Entering emergency mode. Exit to shell to continue. (screenshot)
Running journalctl do not see any problems, only complaining about no-link on the FibreClannel HBAs (normal)
Then get "Warning could not boot"
         "Warning /dev/root does not exist"

Expected results:

This server has four drives attached to LSI controller. There has never been any issue installing any distro (Gentoo, EL, CentOS, SuSE and ubuntu) (and ESX5.x and MS OS's) and they all worked like a charm.I just verified that FC17 has exactly same issue, so I cannot install fc17 and use FedUP

Unfortunately, we can't fix install media for older releases.  F19 was released today.  Do you see issues with that?

This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
