Thanks for the bz.  I've requested adding this to the 'Common F12 bugs'
page [1] by adding keyword:CommonBugs.  I then took a stab at drafting
an entry for this issue at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#alpha-nomodeset-ignore.
Please feel free to review and adjust as needed.

Thanks,
James
