Try text installation, I used to have similar problem with graphics
installation.

After finally completing and trying to reboot, the machine goes into
"Emergency Mode" and asks that I log in as root. That fails and the machine
becomes completely unresponsive.
I tried the minimum install and got the same result.
Hard to diagnose an unresponsive machine.

Is there a way to pull up its skirt (so to speak) and check/monitor the

Yes, there are shells running on the alternative consoles, so if you
are doing a GUI install then do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the text console
- that console is the one running the install and may have some error
messages. Do Alt-F2 from there to get to a shell prompt with root
privileges, Alt-F3 for the anaconda log, Alt-F4 for the storage log,
Alt-F5 for other log messages and Alt-F6 to get back to the GUI
install.
It is my experience too that starting with CentOS 7, "post-installation
setup tasks" take up an inproportionate amount of time during. All I was
able to find out was that the kickstart %post section was not the culprit.
It would be nice to have some detailed documentation what these
post-installation tasks actually are. ISTR a lot of dracut this and that
showing up in top.
