I found that you have to get a different keyboard even to complete the install. I thought that was interesting since this wireless keyboard works in the early BIOS settings, e.g. F12 for boot menu, etc. It was interesting to me that at a later time when the kernel with this bug loads, the keyboard stops working. I found this to be true whether using the graphic or text install. CentOS 7 looks great although it's unfortunate that this situation exists since with this keyboard a novice could be discouraged from installing due to what appears as a hang on the language selection screen. It's not a hang, it's just that the silly keyboard and mouse aren't working.
Enjoying my preview of CentOS 7, but lamenting missing system-config-lvm. I know that was dropped after fc 18. Is it gone from CentOS and RHEL as well?

My first mouse, many years ago with an AT plug, cost me GBP 56 (circa
USD 90). These days I use on desktops, laptops, notebooks (all running
Centos of course) etc. mice costing circa GBP 3.00 including postage
from China. These cheap mice simply plug into a spare USB socket.

Get a cheap mouse from China - plug it into a USB socket then carry-on
working normally.
