?

OK forgive me for not paying attention if this has been said, but I'm not 
understanding if this is a feature request or a behavior complaint. Does the 
grub.cfg in question contain nomodeset? Or you want it to include nomodeset?

There is a minimal /etc/default/grub as part of the grub2 package. But anaconda 
(or maybe lorax?) is writing more into that file during the installation, 
specifically the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line. This modification is made before 
anaconda calls grub2-mkconfig.

Requires anaconda be much more capable of creating grub2 grub.cfg entries than 
it presently is; as it defers to grub2-mkconfig to do this sort of thing.
