While the default for the past few Fedora releases is to not
necessarily be completely hardware generic (to save bootup time and
disk space), I don't think this appliest to graphics drivers -- if you
move your disk, the right new driver will automatically be selected
(including a very basic one if that's not available).

To get a generic image, install the dracut-config-generic image, and
rerun dracut (or do a kernel update, which will include that). Or, if
you've forgotten, the rescue image is _always_ hardware agnostic
(including all drivers).
