I'm having a problem installing CentOS 8 from a USB drive.  When the
installer boots from the USB, it displays the language selection screen.
   After I select English and continue, the installer freezes.  The USB
drive flashes a couple times over the next minute or so, the stops.  The
mouse moves the cursor, but the installer is unresponsive to either
selecting QUIT or HELP.

I've tried both the default and the basic graphic install with the same
results.

       Stupid (as in I am guilty of that) question: do you know if this
USB is not a bum? The later explains why I could not my raspberry pi
booting. Replacing with a new sd card solved this issue.

CentOS completes the self-test without error before booting. Booting completes without apparent problem. My guess is that the USB is good.

If you want to be lazy and have a hypervisor, create an vm guest and
boot it using the usb.

I can try that.  It will tell me if there is a HW/BIOS issue.

With that said, it is possible that while you are having an
uncooperative gui you can still switch screens  (i.e. keyboard still
listening to you) to screen 1 or 2 and then take a look at the
dmesg/log output for clues of what went boink.

Good idea -- I hadn't thought of that.


Details:
CentOS-8-x86-1905-dvd1.iso (sha256 verified)
ASUS Prime B350 Plus motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU
32Gb DRAM
4 SATA drives in RAID/LVM configuration.
M.2 500Gb Samsung SSD (not formatted)
