I just booted to the live install disk a few more times and didn't see
any sign of the media check running. I watched the CD and hard disk
activity lights closely and though I couldn't see the screen come up
with the choices to check and boot, just boot, or troubleshoot I got the
impression that the software was running and it would operate according
to the selection.
I can't explain that.
Well, I've made some progress. I Have other Lenovo M58p PCs with the
same processor and display chip. These PCs have both VGA and Display
Port display interfaces.
I tried using my 0224 DVD to boot one of the other PCs The media check
menu displayed fine and I could watch the media test run. The difference
between this PC and my test PC is the model of Samsung display. Both PCs
have the display connected using HDMI cables with Display Port adapters
plugged into the PC.
Now it's important to note that once the install is done with the media
check that all following display items work fine including such things
as Gnome, terminal, librioffice, and watching video.
Then I changed the display connection on my test machine from HDMI to
VGA. With that connection the media check menu and the media check
progress could be seen fine.
Though the Samsung monitor on my test machine is a different model, it
is a current one about 3 years old (22 inches instead of the 27 inch on
the deployed machines. I am wondering if the media check software might
be using an HDMI protocol, setting, or... that might be deprecated, or
one of those "not guaranteed to be implemented on all manufacturer's
models".
Have a Great Day!

My test machine that doesn't display
these items is a Lenovo M58p with an Intel E8400 processor. All the
monitors here are Samsung and haven't shown problems.
Does this same behavior happen with the final release for Fedora 29?
There are some GRUB and kernel changes since Fedora 29 related to, I
think, flicker free boot. What you're describing is perhaps text mode
for GRUB and early kernel boot not working on this Lenovo so tracking
that down would be a good idea.
Maybe Hans has an idea.
