Yes, I've seen this on various hardware. It's not really a hw bug,
it's just some odd incompatibility with the installer sw (anaconda).

Can you get your hands on a USB-CDROM?

If not, the next step to study is starting up the install from that
USB stick, and then telling it it's an NFS-based installation, and
pointing it to an NFS server...

... it's a hard road if you don't have a CDROM... :-/
