It looks like youre set to edit the boot-code.
do cursor keys not let you select the linuxefi line ??

if they do, add a 2 at end of linuxefi line, it puts you to non-graphical boot

once you do, can you report the absence of /sys/class/drm/*  ?
so far, none of my boots of the f29 kernels fill this dir, (on my
32bit core 2 duo vintage box)
this caused window managers to fail hard.
gdm just locked up.
lightdm was a bit better, but got screen resolution wrong - minimal
res, huge pointer, fonts

what worked for me was a locally built kernel, localmodconfig, after
copying /boot/config-mumble-f29 to .config
this gets screen res correct
