Could you try the F28 Beta RC1.1 image:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/28/Fedora-28-20180326.0/compose/Workstation/armhfp/images/Fedora-Workstation-armhfp-28_Beta-1.1-sda.raw.xz

If that doesnt work, please open a bug and let us know so others can add more details.

It works in qemu but I have yet to test on hardware.
